Local girls were the center of attention at Sunday afternoon’s HOCO Expo, complete with a runway modeling several styles and colors of near-short new dresses stocked at Small Town Curves.

“We don’t sell the same dress to one school,” says Gwin. “So girls don’t have to worry about seeing the same dress someone else is wearing to prom or homecoming.”

There were a lot of bright orange dresses on the stage at Sunday’s show, but there were a variety of styles that were perfect for the fall season, especially when the weather was warm.

Jody Sweden’s daughter, Jerin, was one of the stage models for the Small Town Curves Homecoming Expo. “She was amazing like all ambassadors!!” said Sweden.

Gwin hopes Homecoming Expo will become an annual event for young women in the area who want to draw attention to the fine dress options available at Pratt for special occasions.
