ELLINWOOD – Ellinwood is set to make its mark with a spectacular celebration as it hosts the Mrs. Roper Romp from June 13-15. Inspired by the iconic character from the classic TV show “Three’s Company,” this event promises a lively and nostalgic experience for all attendees.
The idea to bring the Mrs. Roper Romp to Ellinwood came from a passionate local resident who stumbled upon the event’s Facebook page.
“When I saw the Mrs. Roper Romps happening around the United States, I knew Ellinwood had to be put on the map,” said Becca Maxwell, event organizer and Sunflower Bank’s Community Development Officer. “I love dressing up, wearing wigs, and just having fun. We have a really fun Business group and the local Ellinwood Main Street businesses were thrilled to join in.”
Ellinwood’s businesses are embracing the ’70s theme with special promotions and decorations, creating a vibrant atmosphere reminiscent of the era. Whether you come dressed as Mrs. Roper or just bring yourself and a friend, the event is designed for everyone to enjoy.
Participants can look forward to:
-’70s themed promotions at local businesses
- Costume contests and photo opportunities down Main Street
- ’70s music and entertainment at The Underground Saloon
- Food and drinks with a ’70s Trivia Contest at 10-39
The Mrs. Roper Organization has grown exponentially, boasting 50,000 members across 46 US states, 6 Canadian provinces, and 9 other countries. With 500 events worldwide, Ellinwood is honored to host the milestone 500th event.
“Don’t miss out on this fun-filled event that showcases the unique charm and lively spirit of Ellinwood,” Maxwell said. “Join us in celebrating community, nostalgia, and fun at the Mrs. Roper Romp from June 13-15.”
