One year ago....

It's hard to believe almost a year has gone by since last year's wonderful event, Dancing with the Fort Wayne Stars. I am so envious of this year's dancers, because it's just one of the best experiences ever! I was so lucky to be asked to participate last year and it's such an honor to be a member of the elite group of women who have had Mr. Baeten as our partner.

This year's line-up for the 2010 Dancing with the Fort Wayne Stars will include one or more of your favorites: Hope Huber, Katie Burns, Aishah Hasnie, Connie Vorderman and Toni Thompson are the lovely local ladies, and Mark Carboni, Jerry Thompson, Brad Stinson, John Peirce, and Dave Dumas are the celebrity gents.

You can find out more online this year (YEAH!) — read bios, buy a ticket, buy extra votes ahead, and donate to the Carriage House. The important details: Thursday, November 11, 2010 at the Grand Wayne Center. Buffet Dinner at 5:30pm; show starts at 7:00pm. And as always, tickets are going fast!

Two of the dancers that we know are online and talking about their experiences, so be sure to check out both Mark Carboni and Hope Huber on Facebook. Hope has danced with my partner from last year, Mr. Troy Baeten, and they were beauty in motion a year ago when I would arrive early for a lesson and they were still  practicing. I can only imagine what another year of dancing together will do — their samba will SIZZLE! And Carbo has gone country — need I say more?

You know where you need to be on November 12, 2010 — Dancing with the Fort Wayne Stars to benefit the Carriage House!
