Ladies of the Rainbow benefit drag show is set for Dec. 14

Wednesday, December 11, 2019 — Issue 540

BRATTLEBORO — The Ladies of the Rainbow will perform songs and stand-up comedy at a benefit holiday drag show on Saturday, Dec. 14.

The event, set for 8 p.m. at VFW Post 1034 at 40 Black Mountain Rd., will feature adult entertainment, as well as a 50/50 raffle and cash bar, to raise funds for the AIDS Project of Southern Vermont.

The Ladies of the Rainbow have served up lip-syncing and laughter to area audiences since first performing at Dummerston's Rainbow Cattle Co. in the late 1990s.

The AIDS Project, established in 1988, supports local people living with HIV/AIDS and works to reduce the risk of transmission to others in Windham, Bennington, and southern Windsor counties.

Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show. Tickets are $20 a person or $150 for a table of eight (the show is not suitable for children) and can be reserved by calling 802-254-4444 or purchased online at www.DragShow.eventbee.com.
