With the pandemic waning in Connecticut, many high schools around state planned proms for their students this year. Some chose to host them at traditional event venues, some opted to hold them on school grounds. Others, however, chose Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury.
Co-owner of Quassy George Frantzis said the amusement park is hosting 17 to 19 proms.
“This is the first year of ever doing it,” he said.
For Frantzis, part of the appeal for schools choosing Quassy to host their proms is having an open-air venue that could allow students to spread out, along with a lower cost than a typical event space and having the park to themselves for their proms.

HARTFORD The state Senate voted Wednesday night to send legislation to Gov. Ned Lamont extending his emergency powers in the COVID-19 pandemic.
The bill will permit Lamont to renew the current public health and civil preparedness emergency declarations that are due to expire next Thursday to July 20.
Renewals of the declarations will continue the Democratic governor’s extraordinary authority to unilaterally set rules and modify or suspend state laws, regulations and requirements to manage the state’s pandemic response.
