PHOTO ESSAY: Great Performances at ‘Dancing with the Pagosa Stars’

The 8th Annual Dancing With The Pagosa Stars had all the attractions expected… plus the unique talents of another set of local celebrity dancers.

Last Saturday a substantial VIP crowd enjoyed a delicious meal, libations, good company and great performances.

Makeup and wardrobe, music and lots of laughs filled the Ross Aragon Community Center.

The community support for Seeds of Learning continues to be nothing short of amazing. Planning for the event takes an army of staff and dozens and dozens of volunteers, including many High School students… some of whom actually attended Seeds of Learning when they were in preschool.

I have photographed the event all 8 years. It is always a fun experience to be in the mix and share the experience with photographs.

The event once again raised an incredible amount of money to help Seeds achieve its continued mission to help educate preschool children. The success stories continue and the real impact on students is immense.

Congratulations to all the MirrorBall Trophy winners and to all who participated.

To all the students Past, Present and Future: “Let these small seeds turn into mighty trees”.
