Although wet weather meant for a soggy Main Beach in Port Elgin Saugeen District Secondary School (SDSS) graduates and returning students stayed with tradition to attend their pre-prom photo op. Prom-goers avoided the sand, using the boardwalk to create lasting memories and gather as Royals one last time.

The rain held off for the occasion before the graduates set off to merrymake in limousines, lifted trucks and a chartered bus.
