Ladies Evening Out will be located in the beautifully renovated ballroom of the
Portuguese Cultural Center on October 17th from 6:00pm – 10:30pm at 65 Sand Pit Road in Danbury.  It will benefit Ann's Place, the Home of I Can, a Cancer Support Services Organization

The event has attracted more than 60 local Vendors and Exhibitors offering information and free services for women throughout the evening as well as products for sale by many popular brands offering jewelry, clothing, hand bags, makeup, home décor and much more.  

Attendees will be treated to free entertainment throughout the evening starting with the introduction of the winners from the Full Makeover contest which recently took place.  The three winners will be introduced to the audience and then taken back stage to undergo a full transformation and a reveal later in the evening.  The Makeover is being led by Kendra Porter, body expert and style architect and founder of Honor You, an image consulting agency.  Kendra is trained by Stacy London of TLC’s What Not to Wear. She will be on hand throughout the evening to meet with guests individually offering body and color analysis.  Clothing for the makeovers is being supplied by Dress Barn and hair and makeup by Paul Mitchell the School.

Other entertainment scheduled for the evening includes free 5-Minute Makeup Lessons, Hair Chalking, Chair Massages, Yoga, Zumba, Dancing, a Resort Wear fashion show by Monali G New York, wine tasting and much more.  In addition, most exhibitors and vendors at the event will be offering free and interactive elements at their booths for attendees to enjoy while relaxing and getting to know the businesses on a more personal level.
