The “Roaring ’20s/Vintage Hollywood” theme was the backdrop for two dances, one from 3-5 p.m. and another from 7-9 p.m. A searchlight in the parking lot and the red carpet welcomed over 500 attendees to the early ball and 700 to the late ball, including volunteers from Grace Community Church.

At the end of the night, each girl received a rose and necklace as a parting gift. The community donated generous door prizes, including a grand door prize of a working Victrola record player and an old fashioned tube radio.

Grace Community Church staff and volunteers from the community including Boy Scouts, Kiwanis and high school students helped transform Woodland High School back to the 1920’s era. A display of Woodland Photos from the 1920’s was provided courtesy of the Woodland Historical Museum.
