Wow!... It took a long time planning and a lot of hard work, but when EPIC’s Educational Services Spring Bling Prom 2014 finally arrived, it was a huge success. We had over 100 individuals dressed to the nines, dancing up a storm and having one heck of a good time. Things got off to a exciting start as everyone made their way down the red carpet, through the fancy balloon arch, under the disco ball and posed for photos. Then everyone gathered around the dance floor for some super cool ballroom dancing presentations of the Fox Trot, Swing and Tango by Stanzia & Hal Weatherford, Ray & Rita Martin, and Greg & Kathy Fenton from the “Just for Fun” dance group. Next, DJ Mike Cheeseman cranked up the dance tunes and everybody hit the dance floor to boogie down to some bumpin dance music. The Prom Court was introduced, followed by the crowning of Prom King and Queen- Teddy K. and Nancy R. If there has been an award for best dressed, it would have had to have gone to Marcus on the guys’ side, with his brand spankin new bright purple suit. And for the ladies, it would have had to be a tie all around- all the girls looked simply fabulous in their dazzling formal dresses with their make-up and hair all done up exquisitely by Activities Coordinator Phoebe Johnson and a wonderful group of volunteer beauty ladies. (A huge THANK YOU to Country Bride in Peoria and Threads of Hope and Love in Washington for donating the snazzy formal wear!) Everyone enjoyed the delicious Italian dinner and deserts then hit the dance floor once again to dance til they could dance no more… There are so many people to thank for helping make this special event such a wonderful experience- An extra special thanks to Angie Frailey, Sharon Webster and Catherine Tolliver and to all of the EPIC staff at the Townline building who helped out. Not to mention the staff at all the residential sites for their help in getting people ready, as well as all the parents, family, friends and individuals from our other departments that volunteered to help with so many aspects of the event such as decorating, escorting, taking photos, tearing down, etc, etc… There were so many happy smiles, joyous dance moves, and priceless photo-ops to make memories that will be with us all for a long, long time… It was truly an “EPIC” day to remember…
