RetroPROM at the Athens Cotton Press
RetroPROM is an annual prom style fundraiser held at the historic Athens Cotton Press, benefiting the Athens Community Council on Aging. Guests dress in decades inspired fashion, enjoy live music, dancing, and a prom court competition that helps support local programs such as Meals on Wheels and dementia care services. The Athens Photo Booths team provided a themed, high volume prom photo booth experience designed to match the retro atmosphere while maintaining fast guest flow throughout the night.
