The Greyhawk Landing Events Group held its 3rd Annual Father Daughter Dance Saturday, April 30. The event was sold out with 40 daughters and 33 fathers filling the clubhouse. A light supper was provided along with a craft table where the girls could make tissue paper corsages and color thank you cards for their dads. Residents Katie Wilson and Sarah Kate Dyson set up a beauty corner where the girls could have their nails painted and get temporary tattoos and body glitter. DJ Kevin Mendal kept the dance floor full all night by rocking out some great tunes.
