Tickets on sale for Naperville Woman’s Club annual fundraiser Oct. 17

It’s not just pointed hats and capes anymore. Women 21 or older can go glam with flowing gowns, crowns, pearls and heels, vying for the most glamorous witch award, or put their creativity to the max with unique costumes and themes.

Of course, the traditional variety is also welcome to join the night of fun, dancing, fantastic food, adult drinks, and great photo ops, all while benefiting Naperville Woman’s Club scholarships and local charities like Almost Home Kids.

“Glam Witches Night Out” on Thursday, Oct. 17, is expected to attract over 500 women to the Naperville Matrix Club, 808 S. Route 59, an indoor event space with plenty of convenient free parking.

Tickets starting at $85 are now available while supplies last. Attendees can also purchase raffle tickets for gift baskets, get deals on mystery boxes and a wine pull, shop from a variety of interesting vendors, and get a glimpse into their future from tarot card readers.

A dance instructor will teach the nationwide popular Witches Dance. To get details, purchase tickets, or learn about sponsorship opportunities, go to witchesnightoutnaperville.org.
