Paris & Pink: Girls Night Lock In 2007

Welcome to Paris & Pink 2007!!!


What a blast!! This was the 5th year for Kings Valley's annual Girl's Night Lock In for our middle school female students. Two mothers from our church (Christie & Tracie) usually head up this event...this year I got to join that leadership team, so it was the three of us and LOTS of amazing volunteers that made the night such a huge success. The theme was "Paris & Pink"! We had over 170 girls at the event and it was soo much fun! When the girls first arrived and registered they each received a "Paris & Pink Passport" in which they had to get stamped at each of the vender's through out the evening. We started the evening with each of the girls entering Paris & Pink on our run way...The girls LOVED the runway, and I was sooo excited how it all turned out. This year my responsibilities was advertisement and decorations. And when Kings Valley does decorations, we go BIG! I got my creative juices running and I loved how all the decorations turned out! After all the girls entered Paris & Pink via the run way they were able to roam to all the vender's...who provided opportunities for the girls to get their nails, hair and make up done....they could get fake tattoos, make a purse, make earrings, be served at our bistro or cafe', get a facial from a Mary Kay representative, get their picture taken with a friend, or just have a blast walking around the room or up and down the runway. Later in the evening we had a concert by "Three Season Ant", a talent show hosted by Dave...I got a chance to share with the girls about how to be beautiful from the inside out...there was two movies shown...and that about summed up the all niter. Overall it went very smoothly with no drama. Looking forward to next years lock in...our theme will be "Hawaii".

Wow, the decorations are amazing, and it looks and sounds like it was quite the party! I am glad things went well. Next year's theme sounds like it will be fun, and I am sure you will enjoy decorating for that one too!
