There were so many great moments, food, and people at Hookers Ball that there isn’t enough room to share even a fraction of the frivolity. Thankfully, a picture is worth 1000 words and we have close to a dozen to share, taken by Salty Broad Studios. Check out this gallery for a glimpse into the fun and see who went “Skating Through Summer” with us and helped make the 24th annual ball under the Big White tent one for the record books.

Abby and Jesse Rose with Mike Van Hoose, who captains one of Rose’s boats, and Caitlin Townsend, who flew in from salmon fishing in Alaska the morning of the ball.

Chris Rieger, Angie Rieger, Jane Anne Sherin, Sandy Nottingham, Jan Doda and Kathi Weiss are all smiles.

Tommy Doane and Eddie Sebring were among the 400 guests who attended the 24th annual Hookers Ball.

Richard and Irene Sawka enjoy local seafood.

Rep. Kipp Diggs and his wife Tracey chat with Fishermen’s Alliance CEO John Pappalardo.

Sharon Hamilton was the winner of the ever popular ‘Heads or Tails’ game.
