The final touch for these NFV Prom attendees, Tommy Rolison and Hailey Smith, was pinning on the boutoniere and clasping the wrist corsage that the couple picked out from Old Mill Floral. All dressed up and ready to go, it was time for the couple to pose for a few photos prior to heading off to the Grand March that was held at the NFV Performing Arts Center.
A day in the life of Prom

“It’s hard to believe it’s my Senior Prom,” North Fayette Valley senior Hailey Smith said softly as she unzipped the garment bag to reveal the shimmery green dress she had chosen for the occasion with the theme “Diamonds Are Forever.”
“It doesn’t seem real that we’re already here,” the young woman continued as she shooed away her golden retriever, Whitney, who was eyeing the floor length gown with curiosity. “It’s exciting and kind of sad at the same time.”
Hailey, like many of the other North Fayette Valley juniors and seniors, started her day bright and early last Saturday in preparation for the annual tradition.
“I was up at 6:30 this morning, ” she said with a wide grin. “I was just too excited!”
