Attendees came dressed in their favorite denim and enjoyed a relaxing evening with friends, great food, casino games and an array of fabulous auction items!

Thanks to Fred Astaire Dance Studios and their wonderful instructors, a local Dance Contest provided fun entertainment as several community leaders competed to see which couple could raise the most money for the United Way.

Congratulations to Jeanne Dailey (Newman-Dailey Resort Properties) & her son Ryan Coletta who danced their way to victory!  Other celebrity dancers included Bruce (Legendary, Inc.) & Debbie Craul, Alan (CCB Community Bank) & Tracy (Bradford Health & Rehab Services) Wood and Aileen Koon (United Way Marketing Committee Chair) & Ken Hair (Children in Crisis Director).

Emcees for the evening were Radio & TV Personality Mike Minich and from WEAR Channel 3 Laura Hussey Minich.  The DJ was Diamond Dan.  Chris Godber, a young saxophone artist, entertained guests with his talents during cocktail hour.

A special thank you to Fred Astaire Dance Studios instructors for sharing their talents through several beautifully choreographed dance performances.
