EVENT PICS: Dem Dignitaries' All-White Poolside Party

Despite Mother Nature's imposition, DEM DIGNITARIES held their ALL-WHITE (LINEN) PARTY aside Boomtown's pool (atop the casino). I wasn't able to attend, but I hear it was nice.

DJ Love (pictured below, middle, with the hosts) provided the sounds and CUSTOM SHOTS PHOTOGRAPHY (shout out to C. Henry), provided the pics. Here are a few from the party:

I wish I could've been there but I guess I'll wear my white dress somewhere else (before Labor Day of course lol) ...

-- Check out the rest of the pics taken Friday night (by Custom Shots Photography) HERE.

SATURDAY HAPZ: If The Rain Stays Away, Go Out and Play! :)

I know I'm late, but I promise you didn't miss much LOL. With the bad weather, many events were cancelled or postponed on Friday night. But of course, there's more to do this weekend.

Before you go out for the night, check out the SICKLE CELL SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT going on at the Southern Hills Park (weather permitting)

Then at night you can:

- Check out comedian/actor TOM ARNOLD at the Funny Bone

- Go relive the 80's at the Robinson Film Center as they present DIRTY DANCING on the big screen, or see the adoption story MOTHER AND CHILD, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Kerry Washington.

- Or take in some baseball action at Fairgrounds field where the CAPTAINS are playing.

WHATEVER YOU DO ... HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND AND BE SAFE OUT THERE!!!!
