Prom season is upon us. Last night, all of the early and middle colleges in Guilford County held their prom at Castle McCulloch in the Crystal Garden Ballroom (featured above). The capacity crowd danced through the night. The beveled, leaded-glass walls, crystal-chandelier, Grecian columns, terrace, and French doors collectively created a dazzling effect. The ballroom is built on the grounds of what was originally the McCulloch Gold Mill. While the mill has been around since before the Civil War, the Crystal Garden was not added until 1996. It adds quite a bit of charm and an additional option to the venue. The round structure looks like a place Liesl and Rolfe would have rendezvoused in the Sound of Music.

We hope everyone had a fun, safe night and that the policemen in the above photo only had to serve as a visible reminder that it pays to make good choices. A big thank you to the Guilford County School personnel who volunteered their time to make sure that students had a fun, memorable prom. Have a great weekend, dear readers!
