Prom is approaching for juniors and seniors on Saturday, April 26. Some students like to celebrate this upcoming event with a pleasant dinner at a local restaurant like Tim’s at Lake Anna Restaurant and Crabhouse, Callie Opie’s Orchard, or The Lion’s Den 1837.

Prom will be held at Bowood Barn from 7:00 PM – 10:00PM. It is a special time of the year for upperclassmen to celebrate the end of the year with friends or prom date over dinner and dancing.
“Callie Opie’s is a nicer place in Louisa, especially for an event like prom,” Junior Addison Talley said. “I went there with my friends that went to prom as well.”
