Prom

For those not living in Evansville, the town has a big controversy going on: Prom. A group of kids came forward to plan this year's High School Junior Prom and planned it for out-of-town, at a country club in Lake Windsor. Well, the rest of the class wasn't happy. (I don't have a junior this year, so it really doesn't matter to me.)

So, that brings me to the subject, Prom. Did you go to Prom in Evansville? What was it like? Who did you go with? Was it a Junior or Senior prom? Did you go out to eat? What did you spend on the dress, etc? Was it magical?

Nowadays, girls spend between $150 and $300 on a dress, plus get their hair, makeup and nails done, then they go out to eat, sometimes go in on a limo with a few other couples, and after the Prom go out for breakfast. It can total well over $500 for one night. Some people think this is ridiculous. What do you think? Please note if you went or if you have children who went when commenting.

I did not go to prom. No money. Had to work. Jay, Janna, and Billy all went to prom. The cost was probably around $300. I think the price tag on this has gotten too high. A new traditon should be started.
