 Beginning March 12th, Elkhorn City's Girl Scouts from Troop 411 will be hosting its third Say Yes to the Dress Free Formal Wear giveaway. Thursday we spoke with scout leader Diana Sykes and Girl Scout Sophia Spartman about the event. We are having our third annual Say Yes to the Dress Formal Wear event. This is an event where we give away prom dresses, any type of formal wear. This year we have included men's wear into our giveaway so we will have men's suits available and shoes as well. We currently have over 350 dresses available and approximately 300 men's suits. While Girl Scouts from Troop 411 prepare for the event, Sykes says it started when her troop was looking for a community service event three years ago and has grown beyond the store. Girl Scouts from Troop 411 shares the inspiration behind the giveaway. We had the inspiration because dresses and suits cost so much. We are giving them out for free because some people can't buy a lot of dresses formally because they are financial stuff. Because we give them out for free, we get donations, some slightly used, some brand new tags on them. We get high heels, we get men's shoes, dress shirts, we get jewelry donated and we just start collecting them at any point of the year. At Pikeville Medical Center, we believe that together we can make a difference in the fight against cancer. We are proud to have patients who have experienced successful outcomes over many years. As always, we believe in the power of faith. Pikeville Medical Center, where cancer can be defeated. As Spartan says, dresses and suits go towards individuals who need assistance, adding the reaction of one individual who wore the dress home. Last year when someone came in, when they found their dress, their face, they just loved it. They said how much would it cost? We said nothing and then they were so happy and then they just wore the dress until the time they left from the time they tried that one on. Although the event takes place next weekend, Sykes says they are still taking formal wear item donations. We will be accepting donations up to and even throughout next weekend through our dress event. You're welcome to give me a call. You can reach me at 606-369-4873. Or if you know any of our local Girl Scouts, you can contact any of them. Or you can drop those donations off in Elkhorn City at the So Cute Shop. Again, the Say Yes to the Dress event will begin Saturday, March 12th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event will be held at Elkhorn City Elementary School, 180 Cougar Drive, and Elkhorn City, Kentucky.
