Tickets available for annual "Ottawa County Stars Dance for CASA"

Save the date of November 14, 2009, when the Ottawa County Court Appointed Special Advocates Program (CASA) again showcases the dance talents of local personalities. "Ottawa County Stars Dance For CASA" couples local stars with professional dance instructors who will amaze the audience with exciting dance numbers.

The celebrity with the most donations will be declared champion, and this year a "Judge's Choice Award" will be added for the most entertaining number.

Vying for the trophy are Ottawa County Municipal Court Judge Fritz Hany and partner Paula Ferguson of Class A Dance, Benton-Carroll-Salem School Board President Kim Dusseau and Hank Fox of Class A Dance, Immaculate Conception Church Youth Ministry Director Carol Fox and Timothy Nyman of Black Tie Dance Studio, Owner and Operator of Bassett's Markets Mike Bassett and MaryAnn Snider of The Ballet School, Ottawa County Sheriff's Department Captain Steve Levorchick and Annessia Nyman of Black Tie Dance Studio, and Ottawa County Auditor Jodi Regal and Craig Olzsewski of Black Tie Dance Studio.

The teams are battling it out on the dance floor to raise money so CASA can continue to advocate on behalf of abused and neglected children here in Ottawa County.

Hank Fox will spin the tunes for the evening, so get your dancing shoes shined up and come ready to have a blast! Also on tap for the evening are special performances by local dancers, including a sizzling cha-cha by last year's winner Port Clinton Mayor Debbie Hymore-Tester, raffles, and a silent auction.

The event will be held Saturday, November 14 at 7:30 (doors open at 7:00) at Community Market VFW Memorial Hall in Oak Harbor. Hors d'oeuvres will be served and a wine and beer cash bar will be available. Tickets are available for $30 each or a table of 12 seats for $360. To purchase tickets, contact the CASA office at 419.734.7705 or Dorothy Waterhouse at 419.898.0762.
