Junior class sponsors Chelsea Zuege and Darcie Boman said the public is welcome to attend the promenade and coronation, which will start approximately at 8 p.m. The building will be open at 7:30 p.m. for the public to be seated. After the promenade and coronation are complete, Zuege said the public may take pictures and socialize for 20 minutes and then will be asked to depart so the prom dance can begin. The dance will continue until 11:30 p.m. Zuege said signs will be posted to assist with parking at the fairgrounds. Parents and the public are asked to park on the northeast side of the new 4-H building. Prom attendees will be parking on the west side of the fairgrounds or by the old 4-H Building. Post Prom activities will start at 11:30 p.m. at Chase County Schools, with junior and senior class parents in charge of those events. (Johnson Publications photo)
