FORT RUCKER, Ala. (Feb. 16, 2012) -- The upcoming Girls Night Out offers the ladies of Fort Rucker a night of beauty, fashion, health and music.

"It's a great event for ladies to grab their girlfriends and have a night out with the girls while the kids are at home -- not to mention go home with some great door prizes," said Leigh Ann Dukes, sponsorship manager of the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.

Girls Night Out will be held at the Landing Feb. 24 from 6-9 p.m. Tickets to the event are $10 in advance and $15 after 2 p.m. the day of the event. Tickets can be purchased at the Landing Zone, Lyster Health Clinic and the Soldier Service Center, said Brian Jackson, DFMWR program manager. Girls Night Out is open to all women, ages 18 and up.

"The overall program is a great opportunity for you and your friends to live it up and enjoy some awesome vendors that cater to women. The DJ plays fun music and there are numerous giveaways handed out during the evening," he said.

"Last year's event was a huge success. We are currently planning for a spring and fall event each year. It's a great time to see all the new looks for the new season," Dukes said, adding that a fashion show is in the works and 100 handbags will be given away during the event. Vendors will be talking about healthy women, great styles, makeup and many other topics.

Jackson said participants are invited to stay after the event for more music at the Landing Zone. "The party won't end after Girls Night Out."
