Plan your wedding, prom, or spring and summer events, plus contribute to a good cause – all at the same time, is the premise behind USU Eastern’s 10th annual Spring Fest Extravaganza on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 1 and 2 in the Jennifer Leavitt Student Center.
The first Spring Fest showcased an all-bridal fashion show. As the show grew in popularity, cosmetology instructors Debbie Prichard and Linda Davis, added prom and special events to the fashion show, plus raised funds for the USU Eastern scholarship program.

Prichard has a lot of help in making the weekend’s wedding, prom and spring and summer event a big hit in the area. She rounded up community businesses to host booths that spotlight their products and services for weddings and other special events. These include photographers, florists, candles, catering, crafts, jewelry, announcements, tuxedos, bridal and prom gowns, scrap booking, home décor, wedding cakes and décor, nail and hair salons, day spas and much more.
“We always have a great deal of support from the community while raising scholarship money for our students,” she said. All profits from the businesses’ booth rentals and public admission fees benefit the scholarship fund.
The show opens Feb. 1 from 3-7 p.m. with the fashion show at 6 p.m. On Feb. 2, the show opens from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with the fashion show at 1 p.m. Prices are $4 for adults, students $2 with activity card. Children are free. Paid admission includes entrance in drawings for door prizes donated by the participating businesses.
