Get out those hair rolls -- AKA "cootie garages," the shoulder pads, stockings with seams up the back, the khakis and hats galore. You're invited to the Victory Dinner Dance, a fundraiser benefitting the WNY Aviation Adventure Camp.

This will be a World War II Era Big Band Hangar Dance at Zeliff's Hangar at the Genesee County Airport on Saturday, June 7.

Cost of $100 per person. The event is limited to 100 couples.
