Big 80′s Prom!

Posted on Jun 13, 2013

Let’s all dance like it’s the 80′s again!  The hair, the clothes, the MUSIC!

Wether you’ve got moves like Farmer Ted or Michael Jackson this event is going to be a BLAST FROM THE PAST!

Join us on Saturday August 3rd from 8PM to 11PM for the Big 80′s PROM presented by Karl’s Tuxedos, Karl’s Bridal & Linda’s Flowers.

This event is for all ages.  Come party the night away with all the baby blue tuxes, teased up hair, and shoulder padded dresses you can stand!  No matter if you dress up, dress down, look like a “Sosch”, “Jock”, “Nerd”, or “Spaz” we want you to come dance with us!

Celebrate with the CLASS OF ’84 HIGH and relive the best decade ever.

We will be crowning a PROM KING and PROM QUEEN!  So come looking the part and you might win some great prizes!

Make sure to contact Karl’s Tuxedo to arrange your tux rental.  Tell them you are getting it for the Big 80′s Prom and you’ll get $10 off you rental and shoes for $5.  Also thank them for being sponsors of this event!

Big Hair Contest!

Posted on Jun 11, 2013

Everything in the 80′s was BIG and your hair was NO exception.  To get the look you used a ton of hair spray and teased it out!  Sadly the skills of three decades past are fading away.  We have a challenge to rediscover the lost art of “BIG HAIR!”

Sponsored by Ambiance Full Service Salon the BIG HAIR CONTEST will show us if you can capture that Big 80′s look!  You can give it your all at home and show up with your hair in full fire hazard glory or come to The Big 80′s Weekend and have the professionals with Ambiance work their volumizing magic on your mop.

Join us and help bring BIG HAIR back!  Friday and Saturday entries will be accepted until the start of the Big 80′s Prom at 8PM.  The winner will be announced during the Prom.

Prizes will be announced soon – stay tuned!

Thank you to Ambiance Full Service Salon at 2047 B South Campbell, Springfield, MO 65807.
