The following is a user-recap of Spring-Ford SNAP's Dancing with the Stars event, which was held Jan. 21 at Spring-Ford High School. Jen Capone of Jen Capone Photography provided us with pictures and a short write-up: What fun! I had the opportunity to dance this year with a community business group. Why are we raising money for kids to have a party? Because it keeps parents like myself from feeling that they need to host a post prom party in their home. The students go to a school sponsored event that is full of fun alternatives like food, dancing, movies, food, inflatables and food! Dancing With the Stars brings in about half that budget. And we have a great time doing it. The organizational skills of the people in charge is above and …
