The annual Adult Prom will raise money for the Hays Accessible Recreation Complex, a project being led by ARC of Central Plains.
The fourth-annual event will be Friday, Oct. 12, at the Rose Garden Banquet Hall, 2350 E. Eighth.
Audrey Werth, Hays Area Young Professionals member, said of the park “We just see the benefit it is going to bring for the entire community, especially for those who it is targeted for — kids with disabilities and really people of all ages who will be able to use it. We just want to be a part of the community, so any way we can help, we want to do that.”
This year’s theme is “ARC Across the Sky.” This brings together the elements of a starry night and the ARC fundraising effort.
The event includes a social hour from 6 to 7 p.m., dinner from 7 to 8 p.m. and dance from 8 p.m. to midnight.
Hays Area Young Professionals is sponsoring the event; however, it is open to the public (21 and older). Tickets are $30 per person. Table reservations can be made for tables of six.
Tickets are on sale through Sept. 27 at the following locations: Hays Area Chamber of Commerce (2700 Vine), Platinum Group (116 E. 11th) and The ARC (600 Main).
Although many will be wearing formal attire, you do not have to rent a tux or wear a formal dress to attend.
“It can be as big as you want to make it,” Werth said. “Just have fun with it.”
