Hoover Belles Julianna Dinsmore, Lindsey Allred, Leah Byerly and Maggie Ogletree.
Thirty-seven high school sophomores were recently presented as 2013 Hoover Belles. This new class of Belles will serve for two years as representatives for the City of Hoover. Each young woman will earn a minimum of 30 community service hours at civic and local charity events.
This 30th annual event, held in The Wynfrey Hotel Ballroom, was presented by the Hoover Belle Committee, led by chairman Laura Boyd. Also in attendance were Mayor Gary Ivey; committee members Kay Witt, Cathy Connor, Sandra Barnett, Jennie Alley, Jan Pruitt, Pam Harris and Cathy Head; and family and friends of the honorees.
Each new Hoover Belle was assisted into the garden gazebo by Hoover Police Lieutenant Daniel Kane and received a bouquet of spring flowers from her presenter as she was announced by Mistress of Ceremony Kim Garner, a 2002 Hoover Belle. Garner is currently the west Alabama bureau chief for TV channel CBS 42.
After all Belles were presented, they danced to the music of The Sonny Harris Group and celebrated at a reception.
