  • Victory House Women Have a Night on the Town 
    Reported by: Jeremy Stevens

    Thursday, Dec 20, 2007 @08:23pm CST

    Some Ozarks women get to see the sights of the season in style.

    The women of the Victory House were chauffeured across Springfield in a stretch limo to check out Christmas lights around town.

    And arrangements were even made for their kids to be looked after.

    Each lady also had a makeover, complete with new hairstyle and evening dress.Victory12007-12-20-1198204016.JPG

    Some of the women won't be spending the holidays with family and say this was something special to help fill that void.

    “A lot of us have never been to our prom,” says resident Dana Sexton.  “A lot of us have never gotten to dress up like women, and it just, it does. It makes you feel feminine for the first time in years if not ever for some of us.”

    The Victory House is an outreach center for women in need of housing. It is run by the Springfield Victory Mission.

    This is the third year for the event.
