Attendees laughed, danced, sang along to Grand Funk Railroad and Skyelor Anderson and had an amazing dinner alongside friends and neighbors.

“We are especially appreciative of the support of dozens of sponsors, donors, volunteers and attendees who helped make the event our very best one yet,” Crighton added.

Crighton credits the event’s volunteer committee for presenting such an outstanding fundraiser.
