A spectacular evening all around with some great money raised happened at the Justice Ball last Saturday night (July 8th, 06). The Go Go’s music group put on an incredible show for the huge crowd. This organiznation seems to be growing as it seems there were twice as many people as last year. Plenty of bars, food booth vendors, and a nice silent auction selection were situated around the front room. The big room was split up with a VIP section and the large area where everyone got to watch, sing and dance along to the Go Go’s. After they finished, the DJ came on and finished the night out with plenty of dance music to keep the floor crowded. Mark this time on your calender for next year’s fun and money raising Justice Ball. More info to come!
