Valentine?s ball sweeps young ladies off their feet

Over 75 couples enjoyed the special Valentine?s Ball Father-Daughter dance held Saturday night by the 4-H County Council.

The event was open to the public for any kindergarten to fourth-grade girl and the special man in her life. Beautiful young ladies and their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, older brothers, neighbors, filled the basement of Dallmeyer Hall. Each couple posed at the Valentine photo booth. This night of special memories included dancing, light refreshments, door prizes, corsages, and fun.

Proceeds from the event will be used in other 4-H County Council hosted events in the coming year and as scholarships to 4-H?ers attending special 4-H events. The group will start planning the new mother-son event soon. If you have any suggestions of special activities for this event, contact your local 4-H county council representative or Amy at the Extension Office.
