For the 41st time, Emporia’s Radio Stations welcomed working women from around the area to White Auditorium for a night of fun, prizes and togetherness.
The 41st annual Working Women After Hours event saw several hundred women pass through the doors of the auditorium to interact with various business vendors from across the area, sampling food, drinks and various services. KVOE General Manager Ron Thomas was pleased with the evening’s proceedings, adding he is already looking forward to year 42.
