Small town “Island” feel…Dancing with the Island Stars!

We recently attended a benefit event at the Sanibel Community House in Sanibel Island, FL that was just spectacular. Our friends the Zurbriggens (of Zurbriggen Financial ) were involved with the production. Rick was a dance judge and Evette was the mistress of ceremonies! They looked spectacular – unfortunately we didn’t get any pictures of Evette in her sparkling expensive gown. But below are a few pictures of Ross and I, along with my dad and Ross’ parents at the event. What a great idea for a fund raiser, eh? Six “local celebrities” teamed up with professional dancers from Fred Astaire Dance Studio and trained/performed for a sell-out crowd. All proceeds went to the SCH.

We love this about Sanibel – you get the small town feel with lots of action! We were so happy to become involved in the town by helping to support the Sanibel Community House where many events take place, including the longest running annual shell fair in the world which is coming up the first week of March 2010! The weekly classes offered include bridge, yoga, ballroom dance, and shellcrafting.
