As prom season is well underway, Hancock County teens are stressing about getting a dress, finding a spot to take pictures, and figuring out where to eat dinner. Lucky for us, Findlay has lots of options for all of these things! Here are some of my favorites…
The Dress
I am incredibly picky when it comes to picking out clothes, especially prom dresses! However, Findlay is home to these great shops that offer a variety of styles to suit anyone’s taste.

Picture Perfect
Finding the perfect place to take pre-prom pictures can be difficult since you never really know what the weather will be like until the morning of the dance. Fortunately, Findlay has some great options both outdoors and indoors.

Dining Out
To me, the most important part of the night is, of course, where we eat dinner. There are so many great local restaurants to choose from, and some of them even cater if you don’t feel like actually going out to eat!
- Rossilli’s Restaurant
- The Bistro on Main
- The Greek Garden
- Mancy’s Steakhouse
- Stix
- Japan West
- Fireside Brick Oven Pub and Grill
We had to take a pre-pizza pic on Fireside’s patio before our last homecoming dinner!
The Perfect Location
Something that most students don’t have to worry about, but planning committees do, is prom location! While some high schools might insist on having it in their gym or cafeteria, others look for an off-campus option.
