A path cut through an emerald forest with stops at each side of the glittered pathway for Elk River High School prom-goers to wave, wink or make some other signature move for adoring friends and family who packed the bleachers at this past Saturday’s annual grand march.
About 620 students took part before making their way to International Market Square in Minneapolis. An enchanted forest, “Tonight’s Dream, Tomorrow’s Memory” was this year’s theme.
Each couple was given a coin to toss for a wish. While most didn’t make it into the wishing well, there were a whole lot of laughs as couples made the final leg of their march.
Nearly 650 tickets were purchased for the meal and dance.
Elk River High School does not pick a king or queen, opting to let everyone to feel like royalty for the night, co-prom coordinator Jennie Downing said.
