The Bronco Backers, an all-sport Booster club for Zachary High School, is bringing back the one-night shopping extravaganza, Ladies Nite Out.

Formerly a Chamber of Commerce fundraiser, the annual event will now be sponsored by the Bronco Backers and is scheduled for Thursday, July 19.

For one night only, over 30 local businesses, artisans, vendors and more will gather at the ZHS Academic/Athletic building from 5 - 9 p.m. to sell their wares and goods while ladies shop.

Special features for this year's LNO event include: meeting the ZHS coaches' wives, a fashion show with couture from local boutiques, tours of all ZHS athletic facilities, catered heavy hors d'oeuvres and non-alcoholic beverages.

Ladies, you are invited to come out and shop 'til you drop, while trying your chances at winning one of nine door prizes worth $50 or more. Door prizes will be awarded every 30 minutes throughout the evening.

In addition, raffle tickets for a $500 spirit pack will also be sold. The spirit pack includes Bronco spirit wear and gear.

A school monogramming booth will also be located on site and available for $2.50 per shirt, however, you must provide your own shirts.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door and are available now at the ZHSAA building or by contacting Eden Logan at 933-7982 or Dianne LeBlanc at 658-7332.

"We're bringing back Ladies Nite Out, and we're thrilled about all the wonderful features in store for the evening," said Eden Logan, Bronco Backer committee member.

Logan and fellow committee member Dianne LeBlanc said they hope the event will grow and require next year's LNO to be held in the ZHS gyms.

Vendor booth applications are available now but only a limited number are available.

Vendors are required to pay a $50 booth fee and provide a $25 door prize. Each participating vendor will receive a 10 x 10' space plus two admission tickets.

Booths must set up by 2 p.m. on July 19, and vendors are responsible for all materials, supplies, chairs, tables, etc.

Bronco Backers will provide each booth with their own banner/sign.

Deadline for reserving your vendor booth space is Monday, July 16.
