“The Optimist Club has stepped up to be a title sponsor for this event and we are so grateful for their support in allowing this opportunity for these kids. As adults, I think we all remember how special prom was for us during our years in school. It is outstanding to have the support of those in the community to bring this event to our kids,” stated Event Coordinator Trace Hansen.” 

In an effort to make this event cost-friendly for everyone, it is an all-inclusive prom event for one price.

Additional prom photos, poses, group pictures, etc. will be available.

The menu has been finalized and includes grilled chicken, mac n’ cheese and green beans with bacon, and includes beverages and a dessert bar.

“By doing the event on a Sunday, we are hoping families are able to enjoy the day together preparing for this fun event, taking traditional family pictures and having the necessary time to cherish this special day for these students,” Hansen added.

Tickets are available for purchase until the time of the event and will be sold at the door as well. Students from county high schools are permitted to purchase tickets. IDs will be checked at the door and no date over the age of 20 will be permitted.
