Sixteen Debutantes presented at Hot Springs
The Hot Springs Debutante Coterie presented 16 young women at the 76th Annual Red Rose Presentation in the Arlington Hotel’s Crystal Ballroom on Dec. 18.
The ballroom was decorated with hundreds of red roses — which provided a backdrop for the presentation. Forrest Spicher served as master of ceremonies and music was by the Clyde Pound Trio.
After the presentation the debutantes and their families enjoyed a candlelight dinner in the Venetian Room decorated with bouquets of red roses and festive holiday decorations.
