The 2019 class of Hoover Belles was presented in May at The Hyatt Regency — The Wynfrey Hotel Grand Ballroom.
The 42 high school sophomores will be representatives for the City of Hoover for the next two years, performing community service for civic and local charity organizations. Mayor Frank Brocato welcomed the families and friends of the honorees and congratulated them on their selection as Hoover Belles.
Each new Hoover Belle was given a bouquet of spring flowers inside a garden gazebo, created by The King’s Garden, and announced by the mistress of ceremony, former Hoover Belle Haley Bagwell Scallions.
After all Belles were presented, they enjoyed a dance to the music of The Dave Amaral Trio. A reception followed as well as photography by Kelley D. In addition to family and friends of the honorees, others sharing the afternoon were members of the Hoover Belle Committee, led by Jennifer Cotney.
The presentation was co-chaired by Vickie Gord Griffith and Kay Witt. Other committee members include Jennie Alley, Donna Bagwell, Cathy Connor-Fuller, Cathy Head, Denise Shepherd and Becky Walker.
