SOMERS, CT — Senior and junior prom season will be here shortly, and a group of high school parents is seeking to aid in cutting the considerable costs associated with those lavish events. A Prom Pop Up Shop, offering more than 400 formal and semi-formal dresses, will take place Saturday, Feb. 15 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at 20 Vasalie Rd. in Somers, off Field Rd.

Some dresses still contain tags, and many others have been worn just once for a few hours. Sizes ranging from 00 to 24 are available in a huge variety of colors and styles.

Dresses may be purchased for $50, and all sales include a $20 voucher for dry cleaning at E-Jay's Cleaners and a $10 voucher for a prom flower at The Growth Company. Proceeds will benefit the Enfield High School Class of 2021.
