ROYAL TREATMENT

ROYAL TREATMENT — Mateo Hathcoat of Martin, decked out in prom attire topped off with a king’s crown, was among about 40 local residents with special needs who enjoyed last year’s Kings and Queens Prom, sponsored by Refuge Church and supported by businesses and individuals throughout the community. He was flanked by Chloe Cook (left) and Lydia Barnes, two of the many youths who volunteered their time to make the night special for attendees. Applications are being accepted for this year’s prom, set for May 3 from 4-7 p.m. at Refuge Church, which meets at the Obion County Fairgrounds in Union City.                    Photo courtesy of Trish Dial
