Perry Community School District students will get to enjoy their prom today with a new twist. 

The prom events will kick off this evening  with the grand march at 5pm which will take place outside of Railroad Street near the Hotel Pattee. In previous years it took place at the Perry Performing Arts Center. Perry’s Prom Committee Member Andra Tunick says  they have all the attire to fit their theme called the “Roaring 20’s.”

“We’ve got all the glitz and glamor for the night that fits the Roaring 20s. We’ve done all blacks and whites and golds and glitters and feathers. We’ve got tons of feathers to fit the occasion.”

Tunick says students will be dropped off by a classic car, convertible or a limo in a parade style event to walk the red carpet into the Hotel Pattee for dinner at 6pm. Then after dinner, the prom-goers will be sent to the La Poste for the dance from 8 to 11pm. Finally, the night will close with after prom activities like inflatable games, mini golf, laser tag and entertainment from a comedian.
