Flowers weren’t the only thing popping up all over the WRAL Gardens this past weekend.  The gardens were apparently the place to be for prom photos.  WRAL-TV Director of News Operations, Sports & Special Projects Leesa Moore snapped this photo at the end of her workday on Friday, April 29, 2022.

“In all my years I’ve never seen this many people in the WRAL gardens at one time outside of weddings. So many prom dresses!” she said.

CBC Founder A.J. Fletcher established the WRAL Gardens as a service to the community, opening them to the public in 1959. We have to believe he would be very happy to see all the students in their prom finery filling the grounds.

Thanks to WRAL-TV’s Leesa Moore for this Capcom photo.
