The Van Wert YWCA added a new “twist” to the annual Festival of Trees last year by holding “Dancing with the Van Wert Stars.” The event was a great success and the ‘Y’ is holding the second annual dance competition from 7:30-10:30 p.m. Friday.
This year’s competing Van Wert stars include Kathy and Bob Ulm, Vicki and Dan Bidlack, Kimberly and Ben Laudick and Jane and Jeff Maus. The dancers have been working hard to provide some great holiday entertainment that everyone will enjoy.  Last year’s winning couple, Cindy and Randy Gardner, will entertain the crowd with an exhibition dance.
The audience will have a chance to vote for their favorite dance couple and enjoy dance music throughout the evening.
Tickets for “Dancing with the Van Wert Stars” can be purchased at the YWCA for $15 or by contacting Nancy Sink at 419-238-5952.
