Nearly 100 people attended NAC’s Spring Formal, a “Night in Hollywood” themed dance welcoming people with disabilities and their guests for a night of dancing, glamour, and fun. The lively event offered a prom-like experience, featuring limo rides from Black Diamond Limousine LLC and a DJ set from Parker Fawson at Walkingstick Presentations. Guests enjoyed complimentary hair, makeup, and nail services, light bites from Hill’s Kitchen, and a welcoming night to connect with friends, meet new people, and celebrate together.
