Items such as this toy basket were donated as part of a silent raffle.

It was a special Saturday at the Cochran Community House. Mothers, grandmothers, little princesses, and others had all gathered. Around 100 were there. What magical thing could draw in so many on a nice spring afternoon?

Guests enjoy refreshments as they wait for the princesses to arrive.

Princesses With A Purpose, the local non-profit, held their first annual Mother's Day Tea Party. It was the first fundraiser for PWAP, who've traveled all across Georgia to help with various charities and causes.

The Princes stood ready while the princesses interacted with their young admirers.

Everyone got crowns to wear as they came inside. After enjoying refreshments, the princesses made their entrance. The room became a whir of action. Young princesses seeking hugs, asking questions while moms and others hurridly snapped photos.

Rebekah Bryant was one of the first PWAP cast members.

The princesses were the story. From Ariel singing "Part of your World" to going outside and playing Ring Around the Rosies, they provided big-time love to a small town gathering.

Posing with pictures is one of the many things the princesses do.

As 4 pm came and it was time to go, there were more hugs to be given out. PWAP says that "Every girl is a princess." Saturday, those who attended surely felt like one.

Sometimes girls just wanted to ask questions of their favorite princesses.

The talented princesses also shared some familiar favorite songs including the classic "Beauty And The Beast."

Guests heard the story of "Red Riding Hood." The princesses point out what could be learned from the story. "Stay on the right path" and "Don't talk to strangers."

Playing "London Bridges" and "Ring Around The Rosies" made for a fun time outside.

The princes also got hugs as it was time to go.
