Mid-Columbia Community Concert Association’s annual fundraiser, Dancing With The Stars, is set for Friday at 7 p.m. at The Dalles High School Auditorium. Six local residents have been working with professionals from the Utah Ballroom Company for the past week to get ready for the event, which is patterned after the TV show of the same name. Patti Blagg of the Mid-Columbia Community Concert Association says it has become a popular event, and the professional dancers get the amateurs ready to perform. The show benefits the concert association’s musical education programs in the Gorge. Tickets are $20 in advance at Klindt’s Booksellers, Lines of Design and The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce office, or $25 at the door.
