An outdoor grand march
Red Wing High School will hold prom Saturday, May 22.
The grand march will take place outdoors so community members can watch. Prom participants will "march" out the school’s main doors and follow the street toward the back of the school, past the greenhouse and "enter" prom behind the cafe.
Spectators are asked to stay on the grass and practice social distancing. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets.
Prom will begin immediately after the grand march and end at 10:30 p.m.

NEA Big Read begins
NEA Big Read in the St. Croix Valley.
Every year the National Endowment for the Arts hosts a “big read,” where communities across the country read one or more books from a selection of books and host related events. This year selections include classics including “Fahrenheit 451,” “My Antonia” and “Their Eyes Were Watching God.” More recently published books on the list are “The Round House,” “An American Sunrise” and “The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir.”
Locally events will kick off with an art show at ArtReach St. Croix that aims to immerse visitors in stories, sights, sounds and tastes of Hmong culture in connection with “The Latehomecomer.”
The event will be 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, May 20. The event is free. For more information, visit www.artreachstcroix.org.
