Whitman County Prom on Saturday

COLFAX — Students are getting ready to promenade in 2024, with Prom hitting the Palouse from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. this Saturday, April 13, at the Palouse Empire Fairgrounds.

The prom includes high school students from Colfax, Washtucna, LaCrosse, St. John/Endicott, Rosalia, Tekoa, Garfield-Palouse, Oakesdale and Colton.

Colfax Junior Class Advisor Stacy Aune said that juniors across the county vote on what the theme for the year will be. This year’s theme is Meadows/Tangled. A “Rapunzel” and “Tangled” theme with lights and flowers.

Aune said that last year the prom brought in around 400 students, and that they are anticipating a similar group for this year’s prom.
