The Valentine’s Dinner & Dance event at the Forest Grove Community Hall was a great success, as 64 delicious meals were dished up by the Two Sisters which the patrons enjoyed on Feb. 13.
Once the band, Riding Shotgun, started playing, an additional 20-plus people arrived and everyone danced the night away.
A special performance by the very talented Kira Saenger and Peter Thorne added to the already jovial atmosphere, and was appreciated by all.
The three door prizes were awarded as follows:
• Darlene Larsen won a certificate for a dinner, overnight stay and a choice of activity for four at the Hills Health & Guest Ranch in 108 Mile Ranch.
• Don Stables won a night in a luxurious king-size Jacuzzi Suite with gas fireplace and continental breakfast at the Ramada Inn in 100 Mile House.
• Jules Jewra took home a beautifully crocheted and weaved throw donated by Rita Timleck.
