CORNWALL, Ontario – Princess Elsa, Snow White, and Cinderella made a special appearance at the Cornwall Civic Centre last Sunday, February 4th of 2018, for the 4th annual Kinette Cornwall Princess Ball.
This year the ball sold out with more than 220 guests, and an estimated 6000$ raised by the group for the Boys and Girls Club and cystic fibrosis.
Princesses from all over gathered to raise funds by providing children with a number of events such as face painting, a carriage photo booth, and of course ballroom dancing.
The Cornwall Kinette club has continued to grow the event since its conception in 2014 and already has plans for 2019.
Melodie Lemoeligou with the Kinette club helped organize the event and has next year’s ball scheduled.
“I am just so excited by the faces of the little kids when their names are announced at the door, and they see all the magic. That’s what is; all about the kids,” said Lemoeligou.
With most of the guests and volunteers dressing as their favourite Disney characters it was like a scene from a fairy tale.
The Kinette club is a service club that has been in Cornwall for 75 years and made up most of the volunteer staff helping with the event.
“It’s a fun day and a lot of work, but fun work!” said Sue Caron, a life member with the Kinette Club of Cornwall.
Caron dressed as one of the fairy godmothers from Cinderella while many of the princes and princesses were played local high school students.
The Kinette Club of Cornwall has their date said for next year’s ball and is already selling tickets so be sure to book ahead.
