The U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives unanimously approved designating March 21 as “Rosie the Riveter Day,” referencing the iconic image of a woman in a blue shirt with a red, polka dot bandanna flexing her arm saying, “We can do it!”
And Tuesday, Durango City Council passed its own proclamation recognizing “Rosie the Riveter Day.”
A Durango Girl Scout troop will host a mother-daughter dance party to honor and celebrate Rosie the Riveter Day at the Durango Elks Lodge, 901 East Second Ave. A $5 donation will get you in the door, food and drinks will be provided and WWII-era and Rosie the Riveter costumes are optional.
