On Friday, November 5 at 6:30 pm in the Jennifer Leavitt Student Center Ballroom there will be a 1940s Dinner and Dance featuring the Benson Sisters. “So the Benson Sisters they’re actually three sisters and they cover 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, swing, big band, Andrew Sisters type stuff. They’ll be on campus providing live music as part of a dinner and dance,” stated Nelson. The Benson Sister love to get the audience laughing and dancing. Their vintage costumes/uniforms, fancy hair/makeup and epoch old tunes magically take you back in time.
There will be an opportunity to see actual World War II artifacts displayed by the Utah Military History Group, including a great photo op with a WWII Jeep. “So we’re going to have actual uniforms, equipment kit that was used in WWII, 75-80 years ago, stuff you would only see in a museum that you can actually get up close and personal with.
