FORT RUCKER, Ala. (August 13, 2015) -- One of the most popular events for ladies is returning to the ballroom at The Landing for its second round this year.

The Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation is hosting its Girls Night Out Aug. 14 from 6-9 p.m., and it's a chance for ladies to win door prizes, browse vendors and just let their hair down, according to Janice Erdlitz, DFMWR marketing director.

"Girls Night Out is super popular event (DFMWR) hosts twice a year, and for this event we will have vendors showcasing their various services, including spas, medical services, clothing, jewelry, cosmetics and much more," she said. "We have over 41 booths this year and the event will feature a DJ, dancing, shopping, fashion show and other fun interactive opportunities for women to experience."

The vendors and organizations typically cater to women and can range from spa treatments and vacation destinations to shopping and medical specialists.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased the night of the event, and the event is open to the public for people ages 18 and older.

Several businesses and vendors will be providing door prizes that will be given out throughout the evening, and the grand prize drawing will be held at 9 p.m. for a Michael Kors bag, so Erdlitz encourages people stick around for the drawings. People must be present to win prizes.

The last iteration of Girls Night Out saw nearly 300 women come out from around the community, and Friday night's event is expected to be just as successful and is all part of giving back to people in the community.

"A big part of what we do is providing morale boosting and recreational fun," said the marketing director. "Girls Night Out is a much-loved event and we typically have women head over directly from work to enjoy the festivities. It's just a fun opportunity for our female population to get together, relax and just enjoy a girls night out."
