“The fashion show was pretty good. You got to see different things from different people on campus and I really enjoyed it all,” said Laneese Ray, a freshman Media Management Major.

Danielle Neal, a freshman Biology major and member of GA Aggies said, “It was wonderful, I thought it was a real fun experience getting to work with the Georgia Aggies, and getting closer with all my friends from Georgia that I actually didn’t know too well.

“The whole Battle Of The Hometown Week was wonderful. I chose to participate because I like getting out there and letting people see another side to me and I got a makeover and got to show people what I can do on stage.”

The Fashion Show was the Finale for the Battle Of Hometown Week and was directed by Mia Taylor and Kristen Maddox.

For senior Mia Taylor, this wasn’t just a show. It was a chance to pursue a dream.

“I’m pursuing a career in the fashion industry as a fashion journalist. I felt that this would be something I could use to gain experience. The thing I enjoyed about the show is seeing my organization’s hard work come to fruition,” Taylor said.

Once all the hometowns finished their shows it was time for the judges to deliberate.

The winners were: 3rd Place VA Aggies 2nd Place Metro Aggies and 1st Place was The Queen City Aggies. 

The evening was a success and all the hard work paid off from all the Hometowns that participated. The winners were even more pumped. The coordinators of The Queen City Aggies, sophomores Calvin Johnson and Aneisha Alexander-Floyd said they were happy with the show.

“The win was and still is exciting because we worked extremely hard.

We put that show together in about a week and a half. Everyone gave 100 percent and as coordinators we couldn’t be happier. Thanks to all of the hometowns and volunteers that participated and helped out with the show,” Johnson said.
