YORKVILLE — Racine Founder’s Rotary Club will continue its 70-year tradition of providing a safe celebration for graduating seniors with Post Prom 2023.
“Met in the Mediterranean” takes place from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday, May 20, at the Racine County Fairgrounds, 19805 Durand Ave.
The theme for this formal indoor/outdoor gala-style event, was chosen by the senior representatives from the nine participating schools (Case, Horlick, Lutheran, Park, Prairie, REAL, St. Catherine’s, Union Grove and Walden III high schools).
“This is our third year the club will present Post Prom at the fairgrounds,” said Laura DeGroot, Rotary president. “The kids really seemed to like it there, so we decided to return for another year to celebrate the graduates.”
Parents and other spectators are welcome to watch this year’s parade from the VIP spectator bleacher seats.
