O-A/BC-IG prom is ‘Red, White, Blue’
The Odebolt-Arthur/Battle Creek-Ida Grove “Red, White and Blues” junior-senior prom is this Saturday, April 20, at Skate Palace.Décor includes unique graphics of a lag, and the blues are actually denim. Denim will be used in table runners, and the blue jean pockets will be used to hold red loral arrangements on the tabletop and off the edge of the tables with lots of candles as centerpieces.
The skating rink will be enclosed with white pipe and drape and up-lit with red and blue. Some of the chair covers will be white this year with a mix of red and black linen tablecloths.
