CINCINNATI -- Lakota East High School didn't let a little power outage spoil their homecoming dance.
Instead, they improvised and held the event on their football field.

Principal Suzanna Davis said this year’s dance will be one she and her students will always remember.

The high school first tweeted they had lost power at about 3:20 p.m. Saturday.

Homecoming is different outside, but we have so much more space. Great to see so many familiar faces out tonight too! pic.twitter.com/LjgJ7hF9Gr
