Forrest General’s Spirit Girls will host their annual Prom-A-Polooza event on February 24 at Bliss Bridal in Downtown Hattiesburg.
Prom-A-Polooza will be open from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. for high school girls to shop and try on dresses, which will be available to rent for $12. The funds collected from dress rentals will be used for dry cleaning and storage for the following year.
“This event is a way for our Spirit Girls to help their peers and give them an example of what it looks like to encourage other women. The girls renting dresses will take away memories that will last a lifetime without the financial burden of buying a dress,” said Tyra Willamor, Spirit Girls and Sweeteas coordinator.
The Spirit Girls have collected over 300 gowns for the event in addition to formal shoes, dress racks, hangers and full-length mirrors. All of these items were donated for
Prom-A-Polooza.
