In addition, there will be hamburgers and hot dogs available for a small donation from 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

50’s Sock Hop Attire

In the 50s, girls typically wore tight-fitting pencil skirts in solid colors or plaid or form-fitting capri pants in bright shades. Additionally, they wore knit sweaters matching or complementing colors to their bottoms for tops.

To complete the ensemble, they often wore a matching scarf tied around the neck and enclosed-toe heels or pumps. In addition, ladies wore lots of bright makeup, including red lipstick, and teased their hair. 

The bad boys of this generation often wore white T-shirts rolled up the sleeves and cuffed their jeans to just below their calves. In addition, they had black high-top sneakers with white socks and often slicked back their hair.

For more details, contact the American Legion at (772) 589-8710.
