Acworth Parks and Recreation hosts annual Daddy-Daughter dance featuring Frozen-inspired theme
Fathers and daughters gathered in NC’s gym for a Frozen-themed experience on February 21 for a Daddy-Daughter dance. Acworth holds this event every year, creating a bonding environment for fathers and daughters up to age 13.
“I’m glad I brought my daughter, Deena, here because young girls remember things like that, its good to give them positive memories like that,” one of the attending fathers Steven Washington, dressed as Olaf, commented.
Even when rain became apparent, fathers trudged through with their little girls to enjoy an evening out.
Acworth representatives, Bailey Arnaud and Holly Bevil, sit at the on-site registration table, while the recreation coordinator Michelle Berryman discussed the ribbons in the box. “Two hundred and twenty five people registered and with the rain we expected much less, but we have at least 300 people in the gym,” Arnaud said.
After checking in or registering on-site, attendees hang up their coats before going inside the gym for festivities.
The Frozen-themed wonderland impressed patrons as they entered the gym. The room filled with blue and white balloons, huge hanging snowflakes, and streamers, along with other amenities such as the refreshment table, ice cream table, and dance floor.

A sundae station, catered by Wow Factor of Atlanta, existed within the ice and snow-decorated room. Each table contained several delicious ice cream flavors and various toppings to choose from. A father helps his daughters at the table to create their sundaes.
