Six young women made their debut on the night, presented to Cabonne Deputy Mayor Jamie Jones and two of Eugowra's finest Jeannette Norris and Mavis Cross.
Golden Eagles Club president Casey Jones said the idea of having Eugowra's own debutante ball again came up during league tag coaching during the footy season.
They extended the invitation for anyone who would like to be part of the special event, and presented six debutantes on the night:
- Jemma Davis partnered by Sebastian Markwort;
- Jellisa Davis partnered by Kristian Markwort;
- Alyssa Gibson partnered by Stephen Jones;
- Celeste Gavin partnered by Jordayne Girot-Serplet;
- Michelle Harding partnered by Ethan Markwort; and
- Chez Byrne partnered by Corey McMahon.
Wonderful "flower kids" were Indi, Stel, Tul, Ko, Theo, Gus and Clive and MC for the night was Matt Park.
Kel Jones helped the couples prepare for their first dance, The Pride of Erin danced to Christina Perri's A Thousand Years.
The debs then invited their friends and family to join them for their second dance, and delighted everyone with their choice of the Nutbush.
"It was an absolute blast," Casey said of the night.
The debutantes, their partners and supporters then danced the night away to tunes from Riff Raff - a great night had by all.
