Last Saturday the Clinton Kinsmen hosted the 19th annual Ladies Night at the Central Huron Community Complex. Almost two decades ago the Kinsmen decided to host an event exclusively for women as there weren't any events geared towards them at the time, Curtis Meyers, event coordinator, said. The night consists of a three -course meal followed by entertainment, which can mean anything from an inter- pretation of Tom Cruise's famous Risky Business scene to dancing fire fighters. The Kinsmen and volun- teers do everything from serv- ing tables to bartending and, of course, entertaining. This year there were 18 acts and Meyers said they get ideas from a variety of sources, includingYouTube. The Kinsmen sold 260 tick- ets, which is down from previ- ous years. Although this year's numbers were lower, Meyers said the event has increased in popularity since its inception. Ladies Night's inaugural event took place at the Town Hall but eventually got too big and moved to the Legion. Five years ago the Legion became too small as the popularity of Ladies Night increased again and so it moved to the CHCC. Meyers said the night is one of the Kinsmen's biggest fundraisers and brings in about $8,000 each year with all the money raised going back into the community. Some recent Kinsmen donations to the community include, $125,000 to the arena, $40,000 for a new Zamboni and $20,000 for lights at the baseball diamonds.
