Brothers and sisters, fathers and daughters, husbands and wives and even a few close friends took the stage for the fourth annual Dancing with the Turlock Stars event Saturday evening, waltzing and tangoing their way to the most profitable night the fundraiser has seen during its four-year run, and, of course, one of the event’s coveted mirror ball trophies. In June, 12 “dynamic duos” were paired with dancing professionals to create a dance routine, setting this year’s event apart from its predecessors. In years past, “stars” from the local business, government, education and nonprofit scenes teamed up – and danced – with their chosen professional.
