FREE SOCK HOP
SET IN WHEATON                                     For Immediate Release: September 5, 1997


     Oldies and rock 'n roll music, food, and fun will highlight the 2nd Annual Sock Hop
to be held in Wheaton on September 20, from 7 to 11 p.m., on the top level of Public Garage
#45.  The garage is located at Reedie Drive and Amherst Avenue, near the Metro station.
     Entertainment, provided by "The 2nd Conspiracy," will include a floor show featuring
impersonations of Elvis, The Four Tops, Joe Cocker, Sonny & Cher, Buddy Holly, The
Supremes and Billy Preston.  The drug- and alcohol-free event is sponsored by the Wheaton
Urban District.
     The Sock Hop is free.  Food and drinks will be sold by service organizations in the
Wheaton area, and picnics and coolers are welcome.  The rain date is September 27.
     Groups and/or families may reserve tables (seating eight).  Because the number of
tables is limited, reservations should be made early.  Local non-profit organizations may also
register to sell food or crafts.  
     To reserve a table or to sign up as a food or craft vendor, call 301-217-8122.
