The award-winning Newport High School orchestra, under the direction of Nancie Linn Shaw, will provide music for dancing and listening. Dance instruction will be provided by Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Bellevue.

This year a silent auction will be offered in addition to the group’s traditional raffle baskets. Some donated items include two nights at the Larkspur Landing Hotels in Bellevue, dinner for six at the Outback Steakhouse, ACT theatre tickets, Dominos pizza for one year and a string quartet for your event.

Desserts and beverages will be served.
