Plain & Fancy kickoff event a huge success

Metro State College of Denver held its Plain & Fancy kickoff event April 1st at the Curtis Hotel. According to Lauren Schwartz, events and outreach manager for Metro State, the purpose of the kickoff event was to "announce the Plain & Fancy honorees, and to honor the people who committed to be on the host committee." The host committee is responsible for helping to raise money for the event by selling tables and identifying sponsors or by comitting to buy a table.

"The event was a great success," added Schwartz. "It's a lot of fun and it's a taste of what is yet to come." The Plain & Fancy Ball is an event that supports the entire College, raising fund primarily for scholarships.

Honorees this year include: Speaker of the House Terrance Carroll, Pat Cortez, Leo Kiely III, Adele Phelan, Ray Sutton Jr. To see videos of the event, visit our Facebook Fan page.
