‘End of Season APCG Ball, Community House, Woman with Headdress', September 1954 Cherry Grove Archives Collection, Gift of Harold Seeley
Beginning in the late 1940s, community members in late September ended the season by going to “the Ball.” Some spent the entire summer designing and sewing the outfits they would wear. This tradition continues today. In addition to cocktails, food, and a campy costume contest, attendees were able to dance with same-sex partners within the safety of the Community House.
