Daddy Daughter Dance at Goodings Grove raises funds for library<br />
Laurie Fanelli<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
It’s a tale as old as time.<br />
Fathers and daughters<br />
come together for a special<br />
night of dancing, music<br />
and games to create lasting<br />
memories and live happily<br />
ever after.<br />
The Goodings Grove<br />
PTO embraced a “Beauty<br />
and the Beast” theme for<br />
its annual Daddy Daughter<br />
Dance, inviting attendees<br />
to “be their guest” from<br />
6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday,<br />
Feb. 8. Along with<br />
participating in everything<br />
from two-steps to waltzes,<br />
fathers and their girls were<br />
treated to craft stations,<br />
refreshments, photo souvenirs<br />
and a visit from two<br />
very special guests, Belle<br />
and The Beast, who sang<br />
the “Theme from Beauty<br />
and the Beast” before leading<br />
everyone in a slow<br />
dance.<br />
“We are super excited<br />
about our Be Our Guest<br />
event tonight. We don’t see<br />
the dads all the time. We<br />
always see the moms volunteering,<br />
so it’s really nice<br />
to see the dads with their<br />
daughters,” said Goodings<br />
Grove PTO President Amy<br />
Wiggins, noting that some<br />
fathers also invited their<br />
nieces or family friends,<br />
whose own fathers could<br />
not attend, to join in on the<br />
fun.<br />
First-grader Stephanie<br />
Harbin, 6, was very excited<br />
about experiencing her first<br />
ever Daddy Daughter Dance<br />
with her father, Chris, and<br />
getting to “see my friends<br />
with their daddies.” Her<br />
mom and aunt helped her<br />
get ready, and her dad<br />
bought her a flower corsage<br />
for the occasion.<br />
“She wants to dance<br />
the night away,” Chris<br />
said.<br />

Kassidy Dejager was also<br />
looking forward to hitting<br />
the dance floor with her dad,<br />
Chad.<br />
“I like the dancing,” said<br />
Kassidy, while Chad added,<br />
“It’s great to see your<br />
kid’s smile light up, and<br />
it’s fun to see their friends<br />
and try to connect with<br />
some of the dads who are<br />
in the same exact situation<br />
you are.”<br />
Katy Perry’s “Roar,” Taylor<br />
Swift’s “Shake It Off”<br />
and Bruno Mars’ “Uptown<br />
Funk” were among the upbeat<br />
tunes that filled the<br />
dance floor throughout the<br />
night.<br />

Klinger embraced the princess<br />
theme by accessorizing<br />
her sparkly gold dress with<br />
a dainty crown. She also<br />
helped her dad, Brian, get<br />
