"Hollywood Starlets": A Daddy Daughter Dance Success!

We are absolutely delighted to share the phenomenal success of the recent Daddy Daughter Dance held at Willard Parks! This enchanting event was a sell-out, with over 150 dads and daughters coming together for an unforgettable evening. The atmosphere was electric, filled with laughter, joy, and the heartwarming sight of fathers and daughters creating cherished memories.

The transformation of the gym into an elegant ballroom was nothing short of magical. As guests entered, they were greeted by a stunning display of flowers, exquisite lighting, and charming table decorations that set the stage for a night of glamour and fun. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, making everyone feel like they had stepped into a fairy tale.

Our guests were treated to a delightful array of food, thanks to the generosity of our wonderful donors, including our local Apple Market. The menu featured a variety of delicious options that catered to all tastes, ensuring that everyone had something to enjoy. Desserts were provided by the Willard Park Board's very own Vanessa Keene, of Momma Keene 417. The DJ and live band kept the energy high throughout the night, with music that had everyone on their feet, dancing and celebrating together.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the donors who made this event possible. Your contributions of food, flowers, lighting, and table decorations were instrumental in creating a memorable night for everyone. Your support truly made a difference and helped us bring this vision to life.
