[April 25, 2016]  LINCOLN - The Lincoln Community High School Junior/Senior Prom will be held this Saturday night. As part of the prom night tradition, the evening will begin with a red carpet event and Grand March to be held at the Logan County Courthouse, weather permitting.

This year WLCN 96.3FM and Mary Todd's Goldcrown Hallmark in Downtown Lincoln will present the 27th Annual Lincoln Community High School 2016 Prom Red Carpet Runway and Royal Grand March with a "Mardi Gras" theme.

The LCHS Senior ladies who will be vying for the title of Prom Queen will receive a beautiful crown provided by MKS Jewelers in Lincoln.

It will be hosted by WLCN 96.3FM "Cheap Seats Sports Show' Co-Host and Country Financial Agent Joe Ryan who will be wearing a tuxedo furnished by Flowers & Things along with Lisa, The FIX 96 Prize Girl.
