An Evening To Remember

For the third year in a row, people with special needs, their family, and their friends are invited to the Special Needs Prom, which will be held this Friday, Aug. 21 at the Bees Landing Recreation Center, located at 1580 Ashley Gardens Blvd. in West Ashley.
Organized by the Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission (CCPRC), the Special Needs Prom is just one of the many activities CCPRC puts on for those in the Charleston area with special needs. This year CCPRC has teamed up with City of Charleston Recreation Department.
According to Melissa Bernhardt, CCPRC Festival and Event Coordinator, a different theme is chosen every year and this year it will be Alice in Wonderland. The prom is very similar to a traditional prom with a DJ, photo booth, and refreshments. Bernhardt says names are pulled from a hat and a prom queen and king are crowned.
Last weekend Reinvented Upscale Resale in West Ashley sponsored a “Say Yes To The Dress” event at Wannaker Park, where attendees could come select formalwear for the Special Needs Prom, which will be held Aug. 21.
