Enjoy yourself and help others this weekend
This weekend in Taylor features two special events that promise loads of fun while helping others in our community: Hops for Houses to benefit Habitat for Humanity and Ballgowns & Bubbly to benefit Cinderella's Closet.
Here are details about both...
Grab your bffs, coworkers, friends & neighbors and play dress-up for a good cause. For a $20 donation, you can help young people across our community look great for prom and other special events. This event puts you in the spotlight as it runs 2:30-5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 29, at Old Taylor High, 410 W. 7th room 214.
Your donation allows you to peruse and try on gowns in the collection with the help of Cinderella's Closet's fairy godmothers. Pros will be there to help with your hair and make-up while you enjoy hors d'oeuvres and bubbling beverages.
Tickets are limited and available from any fairy godmother, online
