"Dancing with the Stars of the Northern Neck"
CAPINNÉ 2015 will be held at the Boys’ and Girls’ Club on North Main Street, Kilmarnock on July 18.
Iris Treakle, Chairperson of this year’s gala, reminds all that the name “CAPINNÉ,” while sounding French, was coined from the phrase stating the purpose of the event “Caring About People in the Northern NÉck”.
Planned is an upscale social event comparable to the popular television program “Dancing with the Stars,” only better. Our event will feature stars of the Northern Neck, Treakle said. A showcase of community leaders willing to give back to the community by sharing their talent on the dance floor will compete for prizes. Each competing couple will represent one of the thirteen charities benefiting from the event and be sponsored by a community business.
A panel of judges will offer opinions and judge each couple following their dance routine and the audience will also have an opportunity to vote for their favorite performance. As in most television programs, there will be commercials. Local businesses will be given the opportunity record a video “commercial” which will be played throughout the evening on the club’s “jumbotron.”
