Hey, brides to be! Don’t let the stress of wedding planning get you down. Save the date and drop by the Batavia Park District’s third annual Bridal Showcase from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Feb. 24, at historic Shannon Hall, located at 14 N. Van Buren St.

Brides and their bridal parties can enter to win a number of raffle prizes, snap some fun photo booth pictures, and speak to local vendors.

And new this year we will offer a special “Something Borrowed” Bridal Swap! Former brides, help out your fellow bride and donate your gently used wedding items.

Drop off at the Eastside Community Center during various hours between Friday, Feb. 17, and Friday, Feb. 23. Budget-savvy brides-to-be can browse items during the Saturday showcase and take home an assortment of pieces, free of charge, to make their day extra special.

A variety of vendors including photographers, videographers, officiants, florists, caterers, bakers, and more will be on hand to help brides plan their big day.
