New Canaan High School students and their families gathered at the Roger Sherman Inn for a revived pre-prom event that turned the historic property into a central meeting point for portraits, family photos and a large class picture before the prom. Jayne Benton of Elm Street Events said the gathering drew about 500 people and marked the return of a local tradition that had lapsed in recent years. In an email, Benton wrote, “It was a stunning event with 500 people,” and said Elm Street Events “brought it back this year after the new owners took over the Roger Sherman.” The event was presented by the Roger Sherman Inn in collaboration with Elm Street Events who created and executed the concept with the generous support of Andersen Benedetti.
