Young Girls Affected By Fairdale Tornado Get Princess Party

SYCAMORE, Ill. (AP) — Young girls affected by a deadly northern Illinois tornado have gotten a taste of the princess life.

The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle reports a princess party was hosted on Sunday at a party and wedding shop for Fairdale girls whose families lost their homes in the April 9 tornado. The girls got to don sparkling gowns, try out hairstyles and eat cake.

Princess parties at the Sycamore shop called Me Unique are usually $375, but it was free for the Fairdale families. Shop owner Lisa Wakefield says she wanted to do something unique to help people affected by the tornado.

Valerie Young, who was at the party, said her 3-year-old daughter deserved to not have to think about the destruction of the tornado for a while.
