Daviess Community Hospital is turning back the clock to serve up a lunchtime blast from the past. The DCH Cafeteria will host a 1950s-themed “Sock Hop” lunch on Thursday, August 21, from 11 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Guests are invited to enjoy diner-style classics, nostalgic treats, and retro vibes that bring the spirit of the ’50s to life.

The menu will feature crowd favorites including burgers, coney dogs, fries, root beer floats, ice cream, and popcorn—all served with a side of fun. Themed music and décor will complete the experience, and a few surprises may await those who attend.

“We love creating opportunities for staff, patients, and visitors to come together and enjoy something special,” said Rebecca Vest, CDM, CFPP, Food Service Director at DCH. “This Sock Hop is all about great food, fun atmosphere, and a little nostalgia to brighten everyone’s day.”
