Well...it's done! You can watch our dance by clicking here, then click on Part-1 on the right-hand side.

Officially, we tied for 1st place, receiving $5,614 which transforms into 5614 votes. $3,634 received from people like you in advance, and the rest from the attendees voting with their donations immediately after the competition had completed. Unofficially, we won, receiving $30 more than the other winning couple, but it was too close to declare a single winner. We are very happy to share in the honor of "Winner".

Now we have to go back next year and perform the dance again. But for an exhibition to warm up the crowd, not for competition.

Just in-case you forgot who benefits this, it's PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) of Elgin here: http://www.blogger.com/www.padsofelgin.org

Thanks to all who made a contribution in supporting us in this cause.
Ron and Irene Dittmer
