Flapper fundraiser

Hamp Williams holds charitable Prohibition event for Junior Auxiliary

HOT SPRINGS — Fashionable flappers, dapper men and possible gangsters and their molls were among the guests at Prohibition on Jan. 21. The event held at the Hamp Williams building is a fundraiser for the Junior Auxiliary of Hot Springs.

The event gives guests a chance to dress in 1920s attire while enjoying a speakeasy atmosphere with cocktails and charitable gambling. Guests enjoyed music by jazz singer Sylvia Stems and a buffet of foods from Hot Springs restaurants. Each guest received $300 in charity gaming chips to play a variety of casino-style games for a chance to win prizes.

Money raised by the Junior Auxiliary will go toward supporting the children of Garland County through a variety of programs.
