Anything you can do, Athens can do better.
It's not our town motto, but it should be. It would be, too, if we weren't such modest, affable people. As it is, we just keep our awesomeness to ourselves. Yeah, it's just how we roll.
Saturday night is a perfect example of how Athens brings it in a big way.
What does a school nurse, military man, small business owner, and an insurance agent all have in common?
They sure can dance!
Saturday night in Athens, Ohio was the annual Dancing with the Stars event to raise money for the American Red Cross.
Much like the popular television show, local celebrities compete for votes. They practice, practice, practice their dancing skills with the help of professional dancers for the hope of being crowned victorious. It's all in the name of charity.
Several hundred people gathered on Saturday night to cheer on the dancers, support a good cause, and be entertained.
Oh, the moves!
Who knew the guy who makes my delicious sandwiches at Brenen's Coffee Cafe could shake his thang?? The local insurance agent is no clown when it comes to his dance moves. My children's school nurse has an ass any 21 year old would covet, and a retired army officer can dance with or without his beautiful wife by his side. On top of all that, yellow suspenders have never looked better, and the ladies who were there know exactly what I'm talking about!
The talent of these regular joes turned dance aficionados was amazing. Kudos to them for donating their time and talent in an effort to raise money for the American Red Cross.
The Masters of Ceremonies kept the audience engaged, and the performances moved along flawlessly. The female MC really rocked it in a gold dress. In my next life, I'm going to ask for her figure. And the ability to walk in heels let alone dance in them, but I digress....
Best of all, of course, was the opportunity to donate to a great cause while spending quality time with two of the most hilarious ladies I know. I mean, really, it feels so great to laugh oneself to tears. Sure, one of them was a little gassy, but that's what happens when you eat a lot of cheese at dinner. No judgment.
Kudos to everyone involved in organizing and pulling off the event. It was an amazing evening!
At the end of the night, the true winner is the American Red Cross. They deserve not only our financial support, but our blood, too.
You can't see meblessedly, but I'm doing a little happy jig as I write this.
