PORT ANGELES — Women can unleash their “inner celebrity” today during the Port Angeles Downtown Association Girls’ Night Out, scheduled from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The Hollywood theme will take shoppers along a “walk of fame” — featuring more than 25 businesses offering late hours and specials — with paparazzi and plenty of opportunities for photos.
“We encourage everyone to wear what they would wear at an awards show or their finest celebrity attire,” said organizer Tessa Jackson.
“We all want to be glamorous and feel like a celebrity.
“This is our chance to do it.”
The ticket to the evening is a swag bag full of goodies from participating businesses.
The bags are $10 each, with a portion of the proceeds going to First Step Family Support Center.
They will be available beginning at 4 p.m. at Heidi’s Hair Studio, upstairs at 211 W. First St.; Cabled Fiber Studio, 110 N. Laurel St.; Twisted Mischief, 108 E. First St.; and Odyssey Bookshop, 114 W. Front St.
Swag bags
Each bag contains a bracelet from Steppin’ Out Salon, and participating businesses will give shoppers beads to string on them when they display their bracelets.
The bags also contain coupon books sponsored by Skin Care Suites Spa.
Shoppers also can enter a drawing for a gift basket from participating businesses.
There will be entertainment at the Conrad Dyar Memorial Fountain at Laurel and First streets by Cirque de Boheme and DJ Jeff Harvey, as well as a car from Ruddell Auto Mall and a limousine from Little Limo for photo ops.
The wrap party will begin at 9 p.m. at The Landing mall with entertainment, a celebrity impersonation contest, a celebrity look-alike contest and movie trivia contest, and a no-host bar from Smugglers Landing.
Among the many specials downtown will be a fashion show at 7:30 p.m., co-sponsored by Iron Apparel and Sassy Kat Salon & Boutique; Black Diamond Bridal, offering live window models; Jewell’s Boutique, offering a feather boa with purchase; White Crane Martial Arts, which will have women instructors answering questions and presenting a demonstration; and several places offering free makeovers or massages.
