Five reasons to
spend Thursday
nights with us
After we saw a
record attendance
at our Lady - A
Women’s Expo event in
2018 of more than 1,500
attendees, we knew we
could do female-focused
events well. Last August,
we held our first
Ladies Night Out event
at Georgios, and we were
blown away by what we
had thought would be a
“small” event of maybe
200-300 attendees, with
50 vendors.
Instead, we wound up
with 70-plus vendors and
more than 800 attendees
throughout the night.
We knew then that we
would continue this event,
but this year we have
turned it into a series of
four Ladies Night Out
events. We have a lot of
exciting elements with
each event.
For complete details,
visit 22ndCenturyMedia.
com/events.
Our first event is Ladies
Night Out - Summer
Social from 5-8 p.m.
Thursday, June 13, at the
Orland Park Crossing outdoor
shopping center. The
following are five reasons
why you should join us
June 13.
1. When is the last time
you’ve taken time for you?
Bring a friend, or come
alone and make some new
friends. This is a girls night
out, so come and have
some fun with us.
2. Looking to update
your look or wondering
what’s in for summer?
Check out our fashion
show at 6:30 p.m. presented
by Jenny Applegate
of The Leading Image.
Applegate is a certified
personal stylist and image
consultant who had an
apprenticeship with Stacy
London of TLC’s “What
Not to Wear.” The show
will not be one to miss.
3. We have more than
50 vendors scheduled for
this event and the diversity
in what they offer
alone is reason to visit.
From clothing and jewelry
to health and beauty, there
will be something for
everyone. Stop by and
find out what these local
businesses have to offer.
4. Come and tap into
your creative side by
doing a project with DIY
Sign Party for a small fee.
5. It’s free admission.

robbery, a Class 1 felony,
according to a press release
issued May 28 by
the Orland Park Police Department.
Police were called
around 10 a.m. May 27 to
the store, 15015 LaGrange
Road. They arrived to
learn a man, later identified
as Payne, entered the
store and requested to see
a cellphone, according to
the report. An employee
retrieved it from a locked
case, and Payne took it
and began to run out of the
store, police said.
As Payne left the store,
he allegedly pulled out
what appeared to be a
black handgun from his
waistband, pointed it at the
employee and fled southbound
in a vehicle on La-
Grange Road.
Shortly after 11 a.m., a
business located in Matteson
notified Disc Replay
that a person fitting the
description of the offender
was inside of a business
there, attempting to sell
the stolen phone, police
said. Matteson police reportedly
were notified,
responded and took Payne
into custody.
A replica firearm identified
as a pellet gun was
recovered from Payne,
police said. His vehicle
reportedly was located
and seized.
Payne was identified by
the Orland Park victim
during a formal lineup,
according to the release.
He was transferred to the
Orland Park Police Station
for processing.
