There are only two weeks to go until the Miss Moss Vale Showgirl Ball and this is the final week that tickets will be on sale for the stunning “black tie” ball.
As well as the announcement of the Miss Moss Vale Showgirl during the evening, guests can be expected to be entertained by local five piece band “Jerico” and challengers will be called upon to participate in the Annual Men’s Open Floor Slide title.
Many ex -Showgirls have been invited to celebrate the Federation Year Ball, wearing the sashes of their year.
Mrs Dianne Sutherland, secretary and Showball coordinator, has been busy researching and compiling information, including old newspaper articles, about previous Miss Moss Vale Showgirls dating back to 1962.
This will hopefully be released later this year.
