2021 Lincoln Prom

Lincoln Community High School 2021 Prom Grand March Continued p S aturday, May 1, was a near perfect day for an outdoor event. The sun was shining nicely, the temperatures were perfect for sleeveless or short sleeves. It would have been ideal, had it not been for the wind. The windy conditions around the Logan County Courthouse in Lincoln made for some challenges for the 2021 Lincoln Community High School Prom Grand March. However, everyone seemed to take it in stride and as the saying goes, “The show must go on,” so on it went, wind and all. The evening began with a team of volunteers and sponsors led by local business owner Kathie Williams, setting up a beautiful backdrop for the march. Because the courthouse is still for the most part closed, the groups of young people would not be coming down the steps on the west side of the courthouse. Instead, they gathered on the south side of the courthouse and group by group made their way to the lovely red- carpeted area at the bottom of the west side steps. For some, especially the ladies, the breeziness of the evening made for some wardrobe challenges and mussing of hairdos, but even so, each group that came to the carpet looked amazing, and amazingly happy. It was noted that one young prom goer who had chosen a beautiful red dress accompanied with five-inch heals chose not to put herself through the entire challenge alone. She removed her shoes and walked the sidewalk in bare feet. Her date graciously helped out by assisting her in holding the hem of her lovely red gown.
