Priceless Prom Trunk Show

Friday, February 19th, 2010

promflyer22After attending a local high school basketball game recently, we took a rare hike down Memory Lane all the way to our own high school experiences.  Turns out, we don’t have a lot of regrets.  But among the few are: permed hair, dating whatshisname, spinning that last doughnut in the gym parking lot and spending too much money on Prom.

So, we’ve set out to do our part to help the lovely ladies at the Columbia Falls High School save money. We’re hosting a “Priceless Prom Trunk Show.” We are taking donations for gently used Prom dresses, shoes and accessories and we’ll hold a trunk show on Wednesday, February 24th. For 10 bucks, girls can choose a previously-worn but awesome dress, shoes and jewelry, and they’ll be entered to win amazing giveaways like dinner, corsages, hairstyles, manicures, etc.  All proceeds will go back to the Columbia Falls High School Prom Committee.  If you are in the Flathead area and feeling inclined to clean out that closet full of old Prom dresses or bridesmaids dresses, let us know! We’ve got a great place for them.  And if you know any local high school girls who might want to come, please invite them!

Holler!
