For the first time the Perry prom will hold a dinner and dance at the scenic Lake Panorama Conference Center, where attendees will be treated to an “Evening at the Carnival.”
With Saturday’s big event out of town, the traditional grand march at the Perry Performing Arts Center has been moved up and will be held at 5 p.m. with the public welcome to attend.
Students will then caravan to Panora, where the dinner and dance will be held from 7:15-11:30 p.m. As part of the festivities music will be provided, along with two photo booths and a special candy table.
Couples will then have an hour to change out of formal attire and return to Perry High School for After Prom, which will be held from 12:30-4 a.m. Carnival games and prizes will be part of the fun, as will laser tag, which will be held in the Perry Middle School gym.
The featured performer will be long-time Iowa comedy fixture Willie Farrell, who will bring his quick wit and audience-participation themed talents to PHS.
In keeping with the Carnival theme, After Prom food will include walking tacos, corn dogs, pretzels, popcorn and spin-art caramel apples.
Tickets are $35 and include dinner, dance and all After Prom activities as well as one t-shirt and are available at the PHS office.
