Our very own dancing with the stars











As Ambre told in her blog a couple weeks ago we had a really cool fund raiser at our local high school . It was called Dancing with the Rutherford Stars . My friend Angie is the president of the booster club at the school and she decided we would do something different , something fun ! She asked me to help and together we came up with a list of "stars" and started asking (harassing) people until they agreed to participate . Now keep in mind it was a "fund raiser" , it all depended on who raised the most money . we laughed and cryed over and over at these practices watching the teams learn some kind of dance . Now, with the event being over for this year I can say we wee trial by error . Some teams put their whole hearts in learning their dance but didnt push for voters , other teams pounded the pavement collecting votes and didnt know how to dance worth a flip , and the grand prize winner did both ! My daughter and a friend from school were also dancers , they recieved their share of votes but went home without a trophy :( .( if it were a beauty contest she woulda won hands down , lol) we had Drs , lawyers , a state trooper , a few coaches , an 83 yr old grandfather , and several high school students paired off as teams and boy they all put on an awesome show . there were serious dances , cute dances and down right funny dances . it was an exciting , fun, crazy fund raiser and we cant wait til next year ! Hopefully we will have more interest next yr from everyone spreading the word about how good a time they had this yr.
