It’s not often that you can walk down the street and watch a big-haired woman in parachute pants break out her best moon walk.

If you stop by the Regale Center, 124 S. California St. in Sycamore, today, that might be all you see.

As part of a cooperative effort with DeKalb’s Youth Services Bureau, Children’s Home + Aid will host a Totally Awesome ’80s Night where participants can win prizes in a raffle and contests, dress up and listen to their favorite ’80s music.

The two groups will split the proceeds. The price includes access to an open bar where beer, wine, soda and appetizers will be served. However, this means party-goers must be 21 or older to attend.

“We tried to make it entertaining for all and really representative of the 80’s,” said Jason Nicol, executive director of the Youth Services Bureau.

Participants are encouraged to dress in ’80s garb, which focuses on layered clothing, teased hair and dramatic makeup. Margo Sutorius, supervisor of the DeKalb branch of Children’s Home + Aid, said the costume portion of the night would be particularly fun and exciting.

Moon walking and Rubik’s Cube solving contests will be held as well as an ’80s trivia competition. There will also be a battle of the bands where attendees can vote for their favorite ’80s performer. Prizes will be distributed throughout the night for the competitions.

Attendees could also win items from a raffle that will go on throughout the night. Nicol said a signed football helmet from Chicago Bears defensive end Julius Peppers will be raffled off, as will other ’80s memorabilia.

However, the ticket price could keep some lovers of the decade away.

“That’s too high,” said sophomore pre-nursing major Ku’Juan Byrd. “You’ve got to have a big heart [to pay].”

Nicol and Sutorius said their respective organizations would use the funds to work on different programs.

Though the organizations have not hosted previous ’80s nights, Sutorius said she was excited for the event, and the inspiration for the night came from an ’80s bash held by United Way several years ago. Nicol said they sold many tickets, but also expected a lot of walk-in attendees.

“This is a decade that’s coming back into style,” Sutorius said.
