Last Wednesday evening the Merrick County Fairgrounds was transformed into a place for women to gather as Merrick Medical Center celebrated their 7th Ladies Night event. Upon arrival there was a small line flowing out of the main entrance but nobody complained with the amazing weather we were having that day. Once getting through the doors event goers were greeted by the smiling faces of Kim Wagner and others at the entrance. As attendees were welcomed, they were given a gift bag complimentary of Merrick Medical Center and signed up for many door prizes to be given out towards the end of the event.
