Thirteen debutantes, dressed elegantly in traditional gowns and holding bouquets of red roses arranged by Jill Hoover of H&N Floral, were formally introduced to society on December 28, 2024, at Texarkana Country Club. John Crisp, master of ceremonies, introduced each young lady as she stepped from the dais. Andrea Finley and Leisa Arnett performed each debutante’s chosen song as she and her escort circled the room. The season’s events were skillfully coordinated by Miss Blaire Barlow.
