Northborough – Going to the prom is one of the highlights of most student’s high school years. But with COVID-19 rearing its ugly head this year, plans for local proms were cancelled.
Two local girls, Abigail Harnett, a senior at Algonquin Regional High School, and Rubi Butler, a senior at King Philip Regional High School, decided they were not going to miss out on a memorable experience. Rather than going to a beautiful indoor venue, the girls put on their gorgeous dresses and instead went to the Solomon Pond, where they jumped on paddle boards. After a quick spin, they then took a joyful plunge into the water, ensuring that 2020 will have a least one happy memory.
