A fundraising event with over 65 vendors that’s designed for ladies and children is coming to Fishers the first weekend in October. It is an opportunity to shop, sample goods and services, get treats for the kids, win some great prizes and support a wonderful organization.
Ladies Day Out will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6 at the Forum Conference and Events Center, 11313 USA Pkwy., Fishers, in support of Beacon of Hope.
Jenny Gard, head event organizer, spoke to The Reporter about the event itself and how it will help Beacon of Hope.

“It’s a ladies’ day out,” Gard said. “We will have about 65 vendors with anything and everything a lady likes: Massages, nails, hair, self-defense – there is a wide variety of vendors. There will be free samples, free demonstrations and free admission.”
Beacon of Hope is a non-profit crisis center serving victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault. At the event you can make monetary donations and paper goods (toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, copy paper) all of which will go directly the crisis center.
“So many companies around town have donated things so we can have a huge raffle,” Gard said. “It’s probably weeks of pamper time for a woman. We will choose winners for the raffle at 2:30 p.m. and you do not have to be present at that time to win.”
They will also have a children’s fall costume contest at 2 p.m. with prizes for most creative, cutest and overall best costume.
“I’d ask anyone that wants to be part of the costume contest to be there by 1:30 p.m.,” Gard told The Reporter. “We have three categories for that from newborns to 12 years old. Each vendor will also have candy or a treat for each child.”
This is the second year for this event. They have moved from the Mill Top in Noblesville to the Forum in Fishers in order to have more vendors all on one level for the convenience of their guests.
For every donation and purchase at Ladies Day Out, you will get one free raffle ticket. To learn more about Beacon of Hope, visit BeaconOfHopeIndy.org.
