Sock hops may have been a popular social event nearly seven decades ago, but some of Cheyenne’s seniors proved Friday that they can still kick it in 2025.

Friday afternoon, seniors traveled back in time to the 1950s for a Sock Hop event, organized by Cherie Holleman, the marketing director at Polaris Rehabilitation and Care Center, and Tiffany Gores, the recruitment coordinator at Senior Helpers in Cheyenne. The event included classic foods like root beer floats and cheeseburger sliders, as well as live music. Raffle prizes were given out, as well, and many were dressed in ‘50s-themed and Valentine’s Day-themed Sock Hop attire.
