Back ... and ‘plaider’ than ever: Go all checked out to Rockwood 2000 gala

Rockwood 2000 kicked off last summer with something new and different — and Plaid-a-Palooza was such a suc-
cess that the group’s members decided to do it again this year.

The 2012 Plaid-a-Palooza party will be from 6 to 9 p.m. May 18 in Rockwood Street Grill.

“It is simply to come and have fun celebrating the beginning of summer,” said Sandy McIntosh of Rockwood 2000. “So come out and enjoy the fun.

Those who attend are encouraged to wear their favorite and funky plaid duds.

Tickets are $25 each or $45 per couple and include dinner and live musical entertainment. Door prizes will be awarded.

Tickets can be purchased at Blossom Barn or O Those Were the Days.

All proceeds benefit Rockwood 2000 and go toward the numerous community projects the group oversees for the city.
