SYRACUSE — This year’s Lakeland Youth Center’s annual Daddy Daughter Dance, held Friday, May 17, was a hit once again.
The Daddy Daughter Dance is a very popular event, so much so that it’s held on both Friday and Saturday nights to allow everyone who wants it a chance to participate.
This year’s event, hosted at Quaker Have Camp, saw a floral theme and a dance floor littered with balloons. The girls had a great
time playing with them after collecting their free cotton candy at the entrance.
Their fathers accompanied them in dancing while the DJ played classic after classic, including crowdpleasers like “The Cha Cha Slide” and “Party In The U.S.A.”
When they weren’t on the dance floor, dads and daughters could get ice cream and all the fixings from the sundae bar or spend some time doing a craft. This year, the LYC offered sunglasses which the girls could decorate with beads.
The Daddy Daughter Dance is the LYC’s biggest fundraiser of the year and a big hit with those who attend.
