ACE ladies

“Ladies Night” at ACE Hardware was a huge hit on a rainy Wednesday evening. Those who waited in a nightclub-style line were treated to complimentary wine, champagne, cheeses, music . . . and, my informant tells me, a chocolate fountain. The “DO NOT ENTER” sign on this night was for males, as the only guys around were the tuxedo-clad employees, holding umbrellas to escort ladies from their cars.
