'Found the Gown' event draws large crowd in Cranberry Township
CRANBERRY TWP — Hundreds of young women from around the region were lined up before daybreak Saturday at the Cranberry Community United Presbyterian Church with hopes of finding their dream dress.
The church's annual “I Found the Gown” event, where attendees can purchase lightly-used prom dresses and wedding gowns offered a selection of 2,040 dresses, as well as shoes, wraps and jewelry.
Greta Bender, a North Catholic High School senior, was one of the first through the door Saturday. She said one of the best parts of the day was getting to go on an adventure with her best friend and fellow North Catholic senior, Emily Gregor. The two showed up at 4 a.m. to get their tickets for the sale and were 69th and 70th to be allowed in.
“I love getting this experience with my best friend,” Emily said.
Emily added that the event offers affordable prom dresses rather than having high school girls spend, “$500 for a dress (we'll) wear once.”
