Mother-son Sadie Hawkins dance set for Saturday

Pre-mother’s Day event is designed for children ages 4-12

The Yuma Parks and Recreation Department will hold a special mother-son Sadie Hawkins dance 5:307:45 p.m. Saturday, May 11, at the North End Community Center, 160 E. 1st St.

Sadie Hawkins is a tradition where girls ask boys to dance. This time, mothers can take their sons out for a special night of dancing, glow sticks, LEGOS, snacks and ice cream sundaes. A photo area will be set up to provide keepsakes, and music will be provided for dancing.

“This mother-son dance will be a memorable evening with games, a short craft project, ice cream sundaes and of course dancing,” said Recreation Program Supervisor Marilyn Lammel. “Moms can also look forward to receiving a flower from their special guy. All of this takes place Mother’s Day weekend to create an opportunity for a special night out together.”

Designed for ages 4-12 and their mothers, tickets are $20 per couple and can be purchased online at tinyurl.com/2y4mc7xf or through Parks and Recreation at 928-373-5200 or in person on the first floor of City Hall, 1 City Plaza. Additional tickets, available for $8 each, can only be purchased by phone or in person.

Sadie Hawkins Dance attendees are encouraged to dress nicely in casual wear for a special occasion; however, formal attire is not necessary.
