Go to check-in to show your High School ID. You will be entered into our online system and released to shop at your designated time. If there is a wait, you are able to wait in your car and you will receive a text message when it is time for you to shop. We have to limit the number of shoppers due to space and dressing room availability.
Dresses are available at no charge. Free will donations are appreciated - this allows us to continue our program from year to year. We can accept cash, checks (made payable to Once Upon a Prom), Venmo and Paypal for donations.
Dresses are arranged by size and multiple dressing rooms are available. Each shopper is eligible for one dress and one accessory as well as a pair of shoes from Changing Footprints, Hancock County.
Barrel Racing Baristas will be set up for beverages outside the venue (pending equipment - yesterday they had generator issues). Cash and cards are accepted forms of payment.
Please be careful on your walk in. With the low temps and yesterdays snow and rain, there will most likely be slick spots.
Please be kind and respectful. We are all volunteers and we work very hard to make this event run as smoothly as possible. We look forward to seeing you!

❄️Attention Shoppers❄️-Mother Nature has made the drive and walk ways snow covered and messy. With the temps falling tonight things are refreezing. Please be careful when you are driving to us and when you are walking into the venue. We are so excited to see you but want you to be safe getting to us!
