Prom is right around the corner and teen girls may already be checking out the dress racks at local department stores. For some though, the rising cost of attending prom, including selecting the perfect dress, may deter them from going. The Casselton Junior Optimists are hoping to be the difference for girls who don’t have the funds to spare for a $100 to $300 dress. This month, the club is collecting gently used prom dresses from the past 10 years. “We want to make sure that all girls can have a dress and feel like a princess,” said Rhonda Pfingsten, advi- sor for the club. In February or March, girls will have the opportunity to come to Cen- tral Cass to try on the dresses. Once they pick the right style, they’ll receive it for free or with a small financial donation to the club. “I’m not sure how many dresses Teen girls planning to attend prom we’ll get, my hope is that we’ll get a may consider waiting to select their variety of sizes and styles,” said Pfing- dress.
