Pre-registration and ticket sales for a new mother-son event called Ladies & Lil’ Gents begin Friday.

Tickets are limited and pre-registration is recommended.

The new event – coordinated by the Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation Department – runs from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28 at the Les Gove Park Gymnasium. It’s a fun new “date night” option for moms and their little boys, 3-8 years of age.

The gym will be set up for open-play, while a DJ will spin lively party music and some dance tunes. Lowe’s of Auburn will provide a hands-on wood craft project.

Other entertainment will include award-winning magician Louie Foxx, who will perform from 7-7:45 p.m. Included in the ticket price is a professional 5-by-7-inch photo and light refreshments.

To purchase tickets, visit the Parks, Arts & Recreation Office, 910 Ninth St. SE, or call 253-931-3043.
