An informational meeting was held on 2/22/2018 at the Celestine Community Club. At the meeting they went over the rules/entry form and discussed different ideas about accessorizing with their dresses. For example, a little girl could carry a basket of eggs or bread. The 175 canes are also available for anyone to accessorize with. Kara and Breanne asked if there is interest in having photographs taken by a photographer in late May/early June. There was some interest and also some interest in having them taken the day of by a photographer.
