On Friday, April 26th, The Tower Heritage Center hosted over 100 people at our 80s Throwback Night. We were so packed we had to put Baby in a corner…
In addition to 80s-themed trivia and delicious catering & cocktails, we sent guests back in time by blasting 80s pop classics, snapping Polaroid photos, and showing off our collection of West Bend HS yearbooks, Classes 1980-89!
Many guests even dressed for the occasion- catching the camera with layered shirts, legwarmers, neon colors, and big hair! Keep scrolling to see snapshots of this “totally tubular” event!
“This was such a fun event to plan and be a part of. I’m beyond grateful to everyone who came out to have a great time. We’re looking forward to the next one!” says Bella Bussey, Events and Outreach Coordinator of The Tower Heritage Center.
