One of the most unique things that happens in this little town is the event of the Jr. Prom. The very first time we came here prom was up - Arabian Nights I think it was. They had crafted an apparently Magic Carpet on which to take pictures. Anyway, the kids work on it for about a week. You can't believe what some cardboard, crepe paper, butcher paper, icicle lights and a whole ton of creativity can do to a high school gym in a week.
This year's theme was Under Western Skies. This was the first western theme in 25+ years they had ever done because really people, don't you ever get tired of cowboy boots? Well, nope. They did an incredible job and the community really came out and supported them. Two of my top Whys I Love Orderville were related to the prom. I'll have to see if I can find pictures about them. In the meantime, you can schedule your next visit for next year's prom. The best part is, these people know how to dance. Even the kids!

The "tea" room. The mothers decorate Robert's music room and serve refreshments for the Juniors and Seniors. This year they wanted to call it something like the watering hole and have the moms dressed like old western bar girls but that plan got vetoed. Instead it was a delicious chuck wagon.
This picture is from the community dinner the night after.
