How are Farmington area teens asked to Prom this year? Share your stories and photos here.
With Farmington, Harrison and North Farmington High School proms just days away, preparations for the big dance are in full swing. But before final plans for dresses, hair, shoes, tuxes and limos can be made, finding a date comes first. The growing tradition of prom-posals can include a car full of balloons or a messages written in lights – high school students everywhere are getting more creative when asking their prospective partner to prom. This week, we found one invitation in big bold letters on a fence at Shiawassee Park. It's pictured above, and we hope Charlie said yes. So, what have fun and creative proposals have you seen? Tell us your story with a comment or share a visual by clicking the "Upload Photos and Videos" above.
