Becky St. Peter enjoyed a night out at the prom, escorted by her niece Mindy St. Peter and nephews Kyle and Cameron Anderson and Stephen St. Peter. The event was the 10th annual Adult Multiple Alternative Center prom, held at the Lister/Knowlton VFW Post Home on May 7.
“We were privileged to listen to the sounds of local music artists, members of the Sound Friendship Band, under the leadership of Lela Lyons and friends,” said Janice St. Peter.
The VFW facility was decorated with country and western motif complete with saddles and bales of hay, serving as a perfect backdrop for photos. Dr. Sherri and Pierre Dumont served as the evening’s official photographers capturing the attendees dressed in their country and western attire.
