OGALLALA, Neb. — Downtown Ogallala is set to come alive with laughter, music, and 70s flair as the first-ever Mrs. Roper Romp & Pub Crawl takes over the streets on Saturday, September 20, from 4 to 8 p.m.
The event promises a non-traditional way to support the local American Legion Post 135 while embracing a spirit of fun and community. Attendees — from Helens and Stanleys to Jacks, Chrissys, and even Mr. Furleys — are encouraged to channel their inner 70s personas with kaftans and groovy vibes. For those who need a costume, Helen’s Boutique will be open to help participants get into character.
The romp will have participants hopping between “Romp Stomp” locations across downtown, including the Legion, Second Chapter, Little Jerry’s, Underpass, and Driftwood. Along the way, attendees will enjoy raffle baskets, groovy 70s music, food, drinks, and plenty of silliness. The fun continues at Rendezvous Square, where participants can join in the Indian Summer Rendezvous concerts happening that night.
All funds raised will directly benefit the Legion, supporting its ongoing efforts and programs for veterans and the local community. Inspired by a similar romp held in Columbus this summer, the Ogallala event promises to combine nostalgia, entertainment, and charity in one unique package.
Whether you’re there to dance, enjoy the themed festivities, or try your luck with raffle prizes, the Mrs. Roper Romp & Pub Crawl is shaping up to be one of the most fun and memorable community events of the season.
