Rotary Post Prom, 69-year-old prom tradition, will continue this year on Saturday, May 21 from 6 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. at the Racine County Fairgrounds, 19805 Durand Ave. in Union Grove. The Racine Founder’s Rotary Club is once again hosting a safe celebration for graduating seniors.
The celebration’s theme is “Moonlight and Roses” and will coincide with the indoor/outdoor gala-style event. This theme was chosen by senior representatives from the nine participating schools. This year students from Case, Horlick, Lutheran, Park, Prairie, R.E.A.L, St. Catherine’s, Union Grove, and Walden III high schools will gather for a fun community-wide event.
“This is the second year the club will present Post Prom at the fairgrounds,” Rotary president Chris Terry said. “The kids really seemed to like it there, so we decided to return for another year to celebrate the graduates.”
This post-prom event was established to provide a safe and fun environment for area graduating seniors following their respective school proms. This event is truly a Racine treasure that has grown to over 1,300 participants.
