Tonight, I am going to Bowties & Tiaras at Arrowhead Golf Club.

The event will be held in the upstairs ballroom.

I will choose clothes to wear and dress nicely.

I will visit the check-in table upstairs with my special guest. I will wait in line to check in with the event staff.

I will enter the ballroom and choose a table to sit at. This is where I will eat my sundae and make a craft.

There will be a lot of people and the room may be loud and bright/dark.

If I need help or have questions, I can ask event staff. They will have silver nametags.

At the event there will be music and dancing. It’s okay if I don’t like some of the songs, I can talk with friends or take a break.

If the music is too loud, I can wear my earplugs or headphones.

If I need a break, I can go to the seating area near the check-in table.

I can choose silly props like glasses and hats to have pictures taken in a photo booth with friends or my special guest.

I will wait in line to make an ice cream sundae.

I can choose all my favorite toppings to make a delicious ice cream sundae.

I can make a special craft to take home with me.

At the end of the event I will say goodbye to my friends and leave with my special guest.
