LOGAN - Hey girlfriends - looking for something fun to do on a cold winter night?

How about spending an enjoyable evening or even spending the night at the warm and cozy Baymont Inn and Suites. Please plan to attend the 4th annual "Girls Night Inn" that will be hosted Friday at the Baymont Inn and Suites located at 12819 SR 664S, Logan. The vendor event will be hosted from 5 to 9 p.m and the cost of admission is a $5 donation that will be donated to United Way of Hocking County. Guests will enjoy a variety of activities offered by a various vendors including Hocking Valley Community Hospital, Contours Express, Airbrush Tattoos & More; Longaberger Baskets, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Knit Designs by Judy Klaer-Kerns, Avon, Cookie Lee Jewelry, Tastefully Simply, Partylite, Home & Garden Party, Total Body Wellness, The Body Shop at Home, Tots to Teens, Silpada, Brianna Flint - Massage Therapist, Rosie's Delights, Hocking House, Liquid Light Gallery, Mermaid Travel, Beauticontrol, Advocare, Tupperware, Pure Romance, Pampered Chef and Western-Southern Financial Group.

According to Valery Junge, Baymont Inn & Suites general manager, the hotel opens its first floor rooms to vendors to highlight goods and services that primarily appeal to women. "Many of last year's vendors have already booked their rooms including the staff of Total Body Wellness, operated by Dr. Brian Still. He will once again be offering special screening sessions to help participants identify facial skin damage from environmental exposure," Junge explained. "In addition, we are very pleased to have the hospital participating again this year. Their health checks and displays were a big hit with the attendees for our event the past several years, and I know they will be again this year," Junge added. Junge noted that blood sugar and blood pressure checks will be offered by HVCH staff at no cost, while cholesterol tests are available for a $5 fee.

Junge said that each year proceeds from "Girls Night Inn" are donated to a local charity or organization that benefits the community. "Not only will you have the opportunity to get away from it all for a short while - you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to support the community as well," she said. Junge noted that all of the vendor spaces have been filled, however, there are still overnight rooms available at a discount rate for guests who want to treat themselves to a full night of rest and relaxation. Janey Saving, executive director of United Way of Hocking County, was thrilled that United Way was chosen as the featured charity for the 2008 event.

"The 2007-08 United Way fundraising campaign is well underway and continues through April 30, 2008. This event gives exposure to our organization as well has helping to add to our campaign revenue. I am looking forward to participating in a slate of fun activities during "Girls Night Inn," as well as informing guests about the purpose and function of the local United Way organization. Saving said that United Way of Hocking County helps to support 15 local agencies and organizations that best meet the social, health and human service needs of Hocking County residents. The agencies supported by United Way of Hocking County include the American Red Cross, Hocking County Unit; Arthritis Foundation; Boy Scouts of America, Simon Kenton Council; Clearing House Assistance Program (CHAP); Elementary Activities for Growth and Encouragement of Responsibility (EAGER); Hocking Housing Management; Hocking County Children's Chorus; Hocking County Council on Aging; Home Away From Home; Hospice of Hocking County; Laurelville Community Food Pantry and Emergency Clothing Center; Meals on Wheels Program; Smith Chapel Food Ministry and Clothing Center; Southeast Ohio Sight Center and Special Friends of Hocking County.
