Daddy and daughter dance ?best turnout? in recent memory

by Peter Jakey, Managing Editor

Young girls spinning on their little high heels in their colorful spring dresses. Dads all dressed up to show their daughters a good time.

That?s part of the continuing tradition of the annual daddy/daughter dance sponsored by Onaway?s chapter of the National Honor Society.

The dads and daughters slow danced to the fitting song ?Butterfly Kisses.? Dads wiggled and flapped their arms right along with the ?Chicken Dance,? and put their left foot in and shook it all about, when the ?Hokey Pokey? played.

THE ONLY time the 31 dads, who had at least one child at the event, stood to the side was during the limbo. They can?t be blamed because even

some of the NHS members were having a tough time seeing ?how low they could go.?

NHS adviser Kymberli Wregglesworth said there were 21 NHS members helping out with this year?s event. They put on games, made balloon animals and assisted with dinner, which consisted of Subway party sub slices. The students made the sandwiches just the way the dads and daughters wanted.

?I hope that all of the dads and daughters had a good time,? said Wregglesworth. ?This was our best turnout for the daddy/daughter dance in recent memory, and we look forward to seeing even more at the mother-son dance in two weeks.

The mother/son dance is Wednesday, May 5, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
