The Friends of Fort Vancouver postponed the Sweetheart Hangar Dance from tonight until Saturday, March 16, because of the weather. The dance will still be held at the historic hangar in the Pearson Air Museum in Vancouver, Washington, from 7 until 10 p.m.

Ticket sales are closed temporarily, but new tickets may become available as the Friends of Fort Vancouver notify current ticket holders about the change of date.

The dance features live big band sounds from the 1940s by the VanPort Jazz Band.

You’re invited to dress in 1940s fashion or U.S. and Allied World War II uniforms, but it’s not required.

The Pearson Air Museum Historic Hangar is located at 1115 East Fifth Street, across the street from the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.

Proceeds from the dance benefit education programs at Fort Vancouver.
