ELMORE CITY — It was just a little blurb in a newspaper. But that’s what got the ball rolling for a small town in Oklahoma to become part of motion picture history.

Dean Pitchford (right) is shown on the set of “Footloose” with the film’s star, Kevin Bacon. The film was inspired by events in an Oklahoma town, Elmore City.

A 1980 Elmore City yearbook (bottom) and an issue of Oklahoma Gazette that tells the story of the town's "Footloose" connection are on display at the Elmore City school library. Students at the school successfully lobbied for the right to be able to stage a prom in 1980, providing the source material for the 1984 film "Footloose."

Dean Pitchford and Kevin Bacon

Dean Pitchford (right) is shown on the set of “Footloose” with the film’s star, Kevin Bacon. The film was inspired by events in an Oklahoma town, Elmore City.

Dean Pitchford, recently elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, visited Elmore City before writing "Footloose." 

Elmore City is the town that inspired the film “Footloose.”

Susie Williams, who was a senior when Elmore City staged its first prom in 1980, works at Blue Daisy Flowers & Gifts in Elmore City.

Raymond Temple cast the deciding vote in 1980 when the Elmore City school board chose to let the school have its first prom. His daughter, Mary Ann, was a high school junior at the time.

A 2011 remake of "Footloose" followed the original 1984 film.

A 1980 Elmore City yearbook (bottom) and an issue of Oklahoma Gazette that tells the story of the town's "Footloose" connection are on display at the Elmore City school library. Students at the school successfully lobbied for the right to be able to stage a prom in 1980, providing the source material for the 1984 film "Footloose."

Media traveled to Elmore City to cover the school's first prom in 1980. 

Some churches were opposed to Elmore City staging the school's first prom in 1980. The theme for the first prom was Stairway to Heaven. This selection of prom photos appeared in the 1980 Elmore City yearbook.
