Dads, daughters invited to Shamrock Ball
Daddies and their daughters once again will have a chance to dance together as Town of Farragut presents
its annual Shamrock Ball Saturday, March
21, in Farragut Community Center, 239 Jamestowne Blvd.
“It’s our favorite event of the year,” Town Parks & Recreation director Ron Oestreich exclaimed. “Dads and daughters all dressed up — it’s so fun to see all the dresses and how excited the little girls are to be with their dads and to dance with their friends and just have a great time here.”
There will be two time sessions from which to choose: from 3 to 5 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m.
“They’re both equally popular,” he said of the sessions.
However, Oestreich observed the younger girls usually come from 3 to 5 p.m. then the older girls attend the 6 to 8 p.m. session.
Cost for the event is $30 per couple. They can register at the front desk of Farragut Community Center or visit online at townoffarragut.org
“If there’re multiple children, then it’s $5 for each additional child,” he said.
Oestreich anticipates 100 couples will attend each session.
“So, there will be 400 people in the building,” Oestreich said.
As the attendees arrive, they will find crafts being made in the front lobby and dancing in the gym.
“We’re doing friendship bracelets [as the crafts],” he said.
Also, photos will be taken of dads and daughters, and the Knoxville Irish Dancers will perform.
With the desserts buffet, “were going to do something a little different this year,” Oestreich said. “We’re doing a pudding bar. They can put whatever they want in their vanilla or their chocolate pudding. Just trying something new.”
