MLC juniors, seniors, guests pose in a variety of settings for reception photo-ops
It was a paparazzi-pleasing paradise as the junior and seniors of Mountain Lake Christian (MLC), along with guests, posed in various settings for reception photo-ops at the school on Saturday afternoon, April 23.
The event kicked off a night of activities for attendees. The first stop, after the young people and their chaperones (Aaron and Nikki Petersen and Daniel and Joelle Bargen) boarded a charter bus, was to be at Dangerfield’s Restaurant in Shakopee for a special dining experience. Next up on the evening’s tour of events – the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre to see the Stevie Ray’s Comedy Cabaret, a Twin Cities favorite for 25 years. The evening won’t end then, however, with bowling and other fun stuff to do at Cedarvale Lanes in Eagan. It will be in the wee hours of Sunday morning, April 24, that the group is transported back to Mountain Lake.
Following is a photo gallery of the young couples attending the event:
