The cold rain and dense fog couldn’t deter the smiles and good times at the Cape Henlopen High School prom May 14 at Rehoboth Beach Convention Center.
The theme of A Night in Hollywood was beautifully carried out with flowers, colorful spotlights, glitz and glam, and even a red carpet where attendees were photographed by a couple of paparazzi. Unlimited food and refreshments were provided for the “Hollywood elite” attendees.
The students treated their family, friends and general public to a view of the guys’ sharp tuxes and the girls’ beautiful dresses as they held the pre-prom promenade at the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand.
“The students seemed to have a great time,”said co-advisor Ben Evick. “They were chomping at the bit to get inside and couldn’t wait for the doors to open at 7:30. They walked the red carpet in and immediately hit the dance floor. It was a night of smiling faces and laughs had by all.”
