Over 1,000 women crowded into Heritage Hall at the Salina Bicentennial Center for an evening just for them.

Salina Media Group’s annual For Women Only event drew a large crowd Thursday evening, and as promised provided a full night of entertainment, prizes, and fun.

There were over 50 booths and exhibits for the women to enjoy. Many of the exhibitors gave away prizes. There were also free food and drink samples to enjoy.

Along with the exhibitors, entertainment was provided throughout the evening onstage. It included presentations, fashion shows, and demonstrations by Stutzman’s Greenhouse & Garden Center, Salina Shinzenkan Do Jo, Hays Academy of Hair Design Salina Campus, Cj Banks & Christopher Banks, and the Hair Affaire.

KSAL’s Joan Jerkovich recruited a group of dancer during the show for a video shoot that took place. Following post-production the video will be made available online.

Los Angeles comedian Jodi White was the headline entertainment. White, who has toured the country and been seen on numerous television shows and specials including Nick Jr’s “Mom’s Night Out” was a big hit with her edgy brand of humor.

The big winner of the night was Naomi E Haunschild of Salina. She won the grand prize, a 14 karat twinkling diamond pendant courtesy of Riddle’s Jewelry in Salina’s Central Mall.
