WASHINGTON — A whopping 130 couples enjoyed in the special Me & My VIP Sweetheart Dance held Saturday night, Feb. 17, hosted by the 4-H County Council at the KC Hall in Washington.
The event was open to the public for kindergarten-fourth youth and a special adult VIP (Very Important Person) in their life. Participants were dressed up with their caring adults as fathers, mothers, grandparents, neighbors, older siblings and more filled the KC Hall with a sweet kind of hustle and bustle.
The committee was honored to have record-breaking attendance with a new venue to accommodate more couples. Each couple posed at the photo booth and was able to take home a framed keepsake photo. This night of special memories included dancing, refreshments, corsages, and fun.
Proceeds from the evening will be used in other 4-H-hosted events in the coming year.
Many pictures from the Me & My VIP Sweetheart Dance are posted on Facebook at “Washington County 4-H — Iowa.” For more information, on events and special programs for kindergarten-12th grade youth, contact the Washington County Extension Office at 319-653-4811.
