Join The Other Bachelors Feb. 12 for “Cocktails with Chris”
While watching Monday night’s episode of The Bachelor starring Iowa farmer Chris Soules, I couldn’t help but think about how fun it would be to have my hair styled and then slip into stylish shoes for an evening inside a ballroom. This “dream” can become a reality for those fortunate enough to score tickets for an upcoming Iowa appearance by Soules and The Other Bachelors of Arlington.

“As ladies browse the auction items, we hope they keep their significant others in mind,” says John Fedeler, Community Center Capital Campaign Committee member, who conceived the idea for The Other Bachelors of Arlington calendar. His oldest son, Jake Fedeler, is Mr. June. “There are some great auction items that would make wonderful Valentine’s Day gifts.”
Before you scoff at buying a sports package, remember that “recreational companionship” is a Top 5 need for the average red blooded male. (Yes, sporting events and active outings like hiking and biking are more than a “want” for many men. Recreation is a true “need.”) Studies show it’s important for married couples, as well as dating couples, to spend time together doing what makes them happiest.
In addition to winning bids on silent auction items, those in attendance at the Feb. 12th event can listen to live music by Beau Timmerman. Bachelor calendars will be available for purchase, plus there will be opportunities to get autographs and to take photos will the bachelors.
More information for auction items will be released next week, so check out The Other Bachelors of Arlington on Facebook for more details!
