For good or bad, most everyone remembers their high school prom, even decades after the fact.<\/p>\n

Knowing this, a group of people are aiming to ensure this year\u2019s prom is special \u2014 and affordable \u2014 for Summit County families by joining forces for a pre-prom expo in Silverthorne this weekend.<\/p>\n

On April 27, students from Summit High School and other local schools will celebrate their prom at the Silverthorne Pavilion, and the expo \u2014 the Teen Prom Closet<\/a> \u2014 is coming to the same venue on Sunday, just in time for the big night.<\/p>\n

Realizing everything it takes to pull off a successful trip to prom, the expo\u2019s organizers are planning a number of fun, prom-inspired happenings, as they hope to see about 75 students at the expo, which will come with a chance to scope out some of the hottest feminine prom fashions.<\/p>\n

And should a student find just the prefect dress, that student can take the gown home free of charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have some very, very nice options,\u201d said Rose Neel, the teen programing coordinator at the Summit County South Branch Library, which is spearheading the expo.<\/p>\n

In its first year ever, the Teen Prom Closet will go from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday at the Silverthorne Pavilion, 400 Blue River Parkway. It\u2019s a free event and organizers say no students will be turned away.<\/p>\n

The dresses and other accessories are being donated by people like Alicia Rau<\/a>, owner of B\u00eate Noire and Vinyl Cosmetics. Rau will be at Sunday\u2019s expo doing alterations, and she\u2019s also donating a number of items, including a wealth of prom dresses, clutches, necklaces, earrings and other accessories.<\/p>\n

Rau said she got involved with the event hoping that it would remove some of the financial strains prom can put on local families.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an economic discrepancy across the county, and we don\u2019t think that should be a barrier to enjoying prom,\u201d Rau said of her reasons for supporting the Teen Prom Closet expo.<\/p>\n

Some of the dresses are new with tags. Others have been made by designer brands and were so lightly worn the dress might as well be new.<\/p>\n

But the Teen Prom Closet isn\u2019t meant to feel like a handout. Rather, organizers want to pamper the students like any regular prom expo, as they try help make everything perfect.<\/p>\n

With that, the expo will also come complete with hors d\u2019oeuvres and mocktails of sparkling cider for the students to enjoy.<\/p>\n

And for any would-be promgoers who already have a dress, the expo will also have a professional makeup artist on-site providing helpful tutorials, along with some Vinyl Cosmetics giveaways, and one lucky winner will even receive a prom gift basket.<\/p>\n
