What’s In Your Closet?

Closets hold heirlooms, closets hold secrets, and closets hold treasures, dreams and hopes.

We were not after dirty laundry when we asked local residents the question: “What’s in your closet?” The question quickly became a wonderful way to learn more about a person’s life and bits and pieces about their past, the paths they have taken, the lessons they have learned and the plans they had. Have a peek into local personalities’ homes and lives as they open up their closets and share anecdotes and stories with us while showing off items that are special to them, items that they will never part with and items that will always be vivid reminders of what once was and still is special.[/box]

Savannah Hagan is a senior at Arnold High School in Panama City Beach and she is Melissa Hagan’s cousin.  She has been a varsity cheerleader throughout high school and enjoys spending time with family and friends. Savannah is a student at Arnold High School but she also attends classes fulltime at Gulf Coast State College in the Dual Enrollment Program.  After graduation, she plans to pursue a degree in Business Administration.  

Savannah is wearing her cousin’s dress and shows off the Miss Arnold High School crown that she won last year.

Melissa Hagan about the dress: “One of the very neat items in my closet was my prom dress from 1985 – a discontinued Mike Benet formal. I was saving it for my girls but they decided they wanted new dresses instead. However, my husband’s cousin,   Savannah, wore it in the Miss Arnold High School Pageant at Arnold last year and WON! So some styles have a way of turning into classics…”

Savannah about the dress:

“I absolutely love the dress and the fact that my cousin wore it when she was my age. It is beautiful! The crystals and sequins add to its elegance. I felt like a princess when I wore it in the pageant.”

Savannah’s parents, Laurie and Gary say: “We are proud of Savannah and all of her accomplishments. She is an amazing daughter, and we love her very much!
