Get your party clothes ready! It’s time for the 4th Annual SDCC Homecoming!
The theme this year is “An Evening of Artistic License” and the festivities will take place on Saturday, September 22nd at the Regional Arts Commission.
The party promises to be another entertaining night, and perhaps this year, the outfits will be the best entertainment of all. Fashion for the past three events has included prom style dresses, cruise wear, and of lots of roaring 20’s attire.
With the artsy theme this year at RAC, there is no doubt that the creative juices will be flowing for many of our artsy neighbors. Never fear though, if you are not one to dress up – come in whatever you feel comfortable wearing, because like our neighborhood, this party attracts all ages and styles, and lots of fun!
The evening would not be possible without the help of our sponsors. Thank you to the following; Quiet Village Landscaping, Front Door, St. Louis Restoration, Joan & Rick Bender, Charter Communications, Blueberry Hill, Karleen Hoerr/Feinberg Real Estate, Big Shark, National Sales, Pulaski Bank, Kingsbury Animal Hospital, Rachel Boxdorfer/ Prudential Alliance Realtors, Katie Kurtz/Laura McCarthy Real Estate, Galati & Sons Tuckpointing, Beth Bender & Shauna Cunningham, Dean Porter/ReMax Results, The Times of Skinker DeBaliviere, Imo’s Pizza, Star Image, Luvy Duvy’s, and Jump Co!

The evening events will again include; music, delicious food, drinks, a silent auction, and a costume contest. Last year, Mary Brown, in a gorgeous flapper style dress and wig, and Dan Hudspeth, as Charlie Chaplin, took top honors for their outfits.
The competition seems to get more serious every year. And don’t forget, a big part of the fundraising is for election of the SDCC Homecoming King and Queen!
The reigning King and Queen are Mark Gorman and Cristina McGroarty. Previous winners included Andy Cross and Rachel Boxdorfer and Mark Banaszak and Katrina Stierholtz. Our King and Queen are elected through small donations, the winners being the ones who have raised the most money at the end of the night. Who will be crowned this year?
