Last year one of the most talked about events at Tibbits was the Booster's "Dancing with the Celebrities," a hometown version of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."  The event returns at 8 pm, Saturday, Sept. 12 with an all new group of celebrity dancers.
 
Participants include Kate Bell & Rob Iwanicki, Rhonda Ives & Mike Brooks, Autumn Kleinhans & Josh Hemker, Kathy & Jim Lippert and Jacqui Lyon & Tom Garman. Returning as Master of Ceremonies is the funny Kelly Ford with Randall Hazelbaker again conducting eye-opening behind-the-scenes interviews. Other entertainment includes a tap dance revival by Preston's Pearls Revisited and a comedy skit. Last year's first place winners, Larry Parks and Barb Vainer, will return in a showcase dance. Two professional ballroom dancers from Kalamazoo will also appear.
 
Celebrities win with a combination of judges scores and local votes earned at $1 a vote. Votes can be cast with donations in boxes for each of the couples set up at the theatre and around town or at the performance. New this year you can even vote on line (in increments of $5).
 
Tickets for the show are just $5 and available at the box office through August, the administrative office, on-line, or at the door.  For more information or to buy a vote for any of the couples: Dancing  For tickets to the show: Tickets
