ABOUT THE EVENING
Grab Your Girlfriends. It's Ladies Night Out!
13
YEARS OF
EXTRAVAGANZAS
CELEBRATING
The LAWIB Extravaganza is one of the most loved nights of the year. It is a celebration of the incredible women who make up the Forest Lake business community.
​
For 13 years, this event has brought together local vendors, shoppers, and supporters for an evening filled with connection, creativity, and giving back.
​
Spend the night exploring vendor booths, finding new favorites, and bidding on silent auction items that support our scholarship fund. You will also be part of something special as we present our very first She Makes Waves Award.
​
It is more than just a fun night out. It is a reminder of what happens when women show up, support each other, and build something meaningful together.
