On Friday, the public is invited to attend a Top-Hat Preview Night at the Wabash College Knowling Fieldhouse, where you can watch the dancing.
No tickets are required, and doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the program starting at 7 p.m. Entry cost is a minimum donation of $10 which can be given in support of your favorite dancing pair.
Dancing with the Montgomery County Stars is a fundraiser for the Montgomery County Youth Service Bureau brought to you by C&F Fabricating.
“We are excited for another fantastic event,” Executive Director Karen Branch said. “Friday evening will showcase the dances, but of course the big event on Saturday we believe is more than worth the price of the ticket. There are some tickets still available.”
On Friday, the stars will be in costume, and the evening will flow similarly to the actual event.
This year the dancers are, with the stars named first: Bob Ryker and Blair Nichols; Michael Schoen and Katie Wallace; Lisa Manning and Kaylynn Keedy Ranspach; Jacob Szumski and Ashley Clute; Ian Markon and Abby Sayler; Angela Vicari and Georgia Taylor; Makenzie Miles and Matt Allen; Peri McClaskey and Georgia Taylor; Lincoln Kyle and Jessyca South; and Adam Gleason and Maddy Combs.
