Parkway Promenade XXXII did a bit of a time travel when guests donned poodle skirts, as well as other ‘50s-themed attire, for Jefferson Beautification “Goes Back to the ‘50s” on March 24.
The benefit at Chateau Golf and Country Club featured “Elvis” in the house performing and a DJ, who provided further retro beats from Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and other musical icons.
Themed cocktails included “The Pink Squirrel” and “Root Beer Floats.”
There was a silent auction and a live auction, with the top item a painting by James Michalopoulos. Raffles included a 50/50, Tree of Treasures and Parade of Prizes.
Jefferson Beautification has played a large part in making Jefferson Parish look good by raising funds for tree planting, sculptures, and beautification projects at public parks, subdivisions, and city entrances, school partnerships, and more. The organization also provides environmental education and awareness.
Since the 1990s, Jefferson Beautification has completed projects totaling more than $3 million.
Event co-chairs were Brenda Poulin and Sandy Stubbs.
Fun Fact: The “Elvis” who was at the event looked very similar to Austin Butler, the latest “King” in the Elvis movies.
