St. Michael-Albertville Prom Visits 'Moonlit Garden'

It's an annual event that draws hundreds to the St. Michael-Albertville High School gym - even though that's a site that's moved a few times over the last two decades. 

Parents, friends and community onlookers (who just love a good gown or tux) will flock to the school today for grand march, as nearly 200 couples will walk in this year's event. 

"It's a huge thing for the community," said junior Britta Ruberto. "We had about a thousand last year. So it's best to get here a little early." 

The prom committee was busy putting up archways, laying down a "stone path" and creating "photo spots" complete with pillars and ivy. 

"We want it to be a nice setting for the couples to walk through. It's kind of simple," but elegant, said junior Samantha Wortman. 

Other prom committee members include Lexi Anderson, Paris Becker, Katrina Budde, Katie Cook, Elyssa Eull, Alysha Oie, Rachel Valley, Darley Vu and Carli Wojick.
