The 3rd annual Father Daughter Dance sponsored by the Downtown Sylva Association was a huge success despite the threatening weekend weather. More than 100 girls enjoyed a special evening dancing the night away with their fathers. It was great to see the increased number of fathers and daughters that came out Friday. Our couples enjoyed yummy treats, drinks and door prizes from a number of local businesses. Thank you to all our volunteers and sponsors that made this event successful. We look forward to the 4th annual dance in 2011.
