Scene in Edmonds: Mrs. Ropers have their day

Hundreds of people dressed as Helen Roper from the ’70s TV show Three’s Company gathered in Edmonds Friday night for the second Annual Mrs. Roper Pub Crawl and Roper Romp dance party. Alan Hardwick captured this photo of the group outside the Old Edmonds Opera House. The event supported two local nonprofits: Washington Kids in Transition and the YWCA.

  1. Audra Lindley, who played Helen Roper on the sitcom Three’s Company and its spin-off The Ropers, died from complications from leukemia in 1997 at the age of 79.

  2. This looks like it was a hilarious and fun time. What a great way to support two wonderful local nonprofits.

  3. We have Vanessa Knowles, her amazing crew of volunteers and our local businesses and bars/restaurants to thank for this event. Hours of planning and coordination resulted in an evening of charitable fun! Thank you V!!!! Thank you Helen!!!!

  4. I went to this and absolutely loved all beautiful house dresses. Is that a guy in purple at the far left?

      1. Yes THANK YOU so much VANESSA Knowles (& team) for all your efforts & energy! It was a fantastic event and that drone pic is SOO cool!

        Super fun to see & hear Helen’s all around Edmonds. Fantastic event!❤️

  5. What a fun event! I would love to join in next year! How was it promoted? Where can one find info next year?

  6. How did I miss knowing about this? Obviously I didn’t read the Art Beat column where it was promoted. Darn! Looks like it was a romping good time.

  7. This should be an annual event and advertised more -let’s get more ladies out there-I thought it was great! Everyone enjoyed seeing this! This is what makes Edmonds such a great place to live

  8. We put posters up around town and made it a public facebook event. We also sent out a press release to several media outlets. Where else should we advertise?
