HIGH POINT, N.C. — Prom is a special night for many high schoolers but the cost can add up fast. From the dress to the shoes to the jewelry, it can cost a pretty penny. That's why Mantle Realty is holding a free pop-up prom shop.
Carolina James, an organizer of the event, said, "Last year we were unable to do it so this year we're hoping that this year is gonna be just as big if not even bigger than the first couple years that we held the event."
It's open to all high school-aged girls who are attending prom. They are able to get a prom dress, shoes, and accessories all for free.
Carolina James explains how excited she is to bring the event back since the pandemic. “It feels great, you know? Being able to be back, things are going back to normal and just being around everybody," James said. "Watching the girls get so excited whenever they find a dress really just warms our heart.”
The first one will be on March 5 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 202 N Main Street in Lexington. The second will be March 12 also from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on 4035 Premier Drive, Suite 111, in High Point.
