Is the Winter Ball a union party? / Is the Winter Ball a library party?
No, the Very Pretty Ladies organize and host The Winter Ball on their own time and pay for it with their own funds, therefore it is not affiliated with any particular organization. The Winter Ball is a private party organized by four friends who work at or have worked at the Vancouver Public Library. We invite our coworkers, present and past, as well as their families and friends to come to the party and celebrate the festive holiday season.
Why do tickets cost $10?
Money gained by ticket sales is invested into the party. Presently the Very Pretty Ladies are paying for the costs associated with the Winter Ball themselves. Ticket sales will ensure that the party pays for itself. Some of the costs associated with the party are hall rental, sound equipment rental, event insurance, food, prizes, etc.
Why aren't there any bands playing at The Winter Ball?
The Winter Ball is a dance party. That is why the Very Pretty Ladies have chosen to use only DJs for their party. In addition, there are higher costs associated with the hall rental when live music is performed.
What type of food is served at The Winter Ball?
Snacks and munchies. This year we're asking volunteers to consider donating baked goods to the snack table. We will also have chips, dips and other savoury treats.
How much are drinks?
The bar is run by the WISE Hall who sets the prices for beverages. They offer a selection of beers, wines, spirits and non-alcoholic options. Prices are comparable to most bars.
Is there a dress code?
There isn't a dress code at The Winter Ball, but we encourage everyone to don their finest and try their hand and taking home the Belle and/or Beau of the Ball crown. This year we don't have theme colours, but we do invite you to embrace the Charlie Brown theme or just dress up (it's fun!).
What's with the dance contest?
We want you to show us what you've got. Individuals and groups are encouraged to submit an entry into this competition. Routines should be choreographed and music must be submitted prior to The Winter Ball. Entrants will be judged by applause from the crowd.
What types of prizes will there be?
We will be holding a door prize draw for a few door prizes, as well as the crowning of the Belle and Beau of the ball. A prize will also be given out to the person whose outfit best captures the Charlie Brown theme. We'll have a 50/50 draw. And prizes will be given out to the best dancers in the dance competition. Basically, there will be lots of prizes.
Where is the WISE Hall?
The WISE Hall is located at 1882 Adanac Street, a few steps west of Victoria Drive (around the corner from the Vancouver East Cultural Centre).
