Wyckwood House To Host 'Boss Babes' Happy Hour For St. Paddy's

AURORA, IL — Boss Babes, a monthly Wyckwood House event to support and empower women, is returning to the Aurora business Thursday for a special St. Patrick's Day happy hour.

Owner Shannon Gutierrez and store manager Marissa Amoni will host the event from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Wyckwood House, 14 W. Downer Place. The event, which takes place on the third Thursday of each month, is free and open to women from the area.

The business is currently in the process of expanding by moving to a new location — 80 S. River St. in downtown Aurora — just across the river and adjacent to the Aurora Public Library. Beyond the same clothing and home decor offerings, the new storefront will feature a cocktail bar and locally sourced charcuterie boards and small plates.

"Shannon and I are so excited to host Boss Babes at Wyckwood House before they move to their new location on River Street this spring," Amoni said in a statement. "It's an opportunity for busy women to socialize and connect with other local women."

Small businesses featured at this month's Boss Babes event will be McCarty Mills Taproom and Chi-cuterie.

Women who wear green to the event in celebration of St. Patrick's Day will receive $5 off their Wyckwood House purchase over $35, according to a news release.
