This episode covers a lot of ground, including personal stories and bits of NC debutante history. We hear directly from four NC women who have deb-related memories—some funny, some poignant. We also answer listener questions, delving into how one becomes an NC debutante (you can’t apply) and how the whole thing began (the first NC debutante ball was a beauty pageant!).  Mary also shares a personal story about a deb party where she blurts out the truth to a reporter. 

Be sure to catch our bonus episode on September 11, and the final episode, available on September 25.
