MOSES LAKE — The Central Basin Community Concert Association’s second annual Dancing with the Moses Lake Stars event raised more than $14,000, according to an announcement from the CBCCA.
The top fundraiser was Lacey Fitterer, who brought in $3,940, according to the announcement. Fitterer’s nightclub two-step performance also netted her the coveted mirrored ball trophy.
Besides ticket sales, dancers raised funds by soliciting donations out in the community, and also from audience members who paid for extra votes. Fitterer collected donations from 21 donors, more than any of her competitors, according to the announcement.
Care Moses Lake ran the refreshment table and Butterflies & Bumblebees donated cookies for the occasion, the announcement said. The Ramada Inn housed the dancers from the Utah Dance Company and Jay Ballinger provided a dance floor for practice, the CBCCA wrote.
For those who missed the performance, the CBCCA has a video available for $25 online at https://bit.ly/DwtMLS25video.
The CBCCA’s next event is a concert by the Hall Sisters on March 24, the announcement said.
“The Hall Sisters have established themselves as one of the up-and-coming and premier acts in the country pop genre.” the CBCCA wrote. “While releasing multiple CDs over the last few years and writing new material, the ensemble has also maintained a robust tour schedule having performed on notable stages such as The Grand Ole Opry, Carnegie Hall and at Dollywood.”

Mail carriers to collect food Saturday
MOSES LAKE — Mail carriers in Moses Lake will collect food for the Moses Lake Food Bank Saturday, part of the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. “(We’re asking) for a small donation of non-perishable food by your mailbox,” said carrier Michelle Schmidt, who’s coordinating the drive this year for Moses Lake. “And then on Saturday when we’re delivering, we’ll be picking up the food as we go along our route.” Schmidt suggested marking the food donation clearly, so carriers don’t pick up someone’s delivery order from a store. Anyone wanting more information can ask their mail carrier. The drive, put on by the National Association of Letter Carriers the second Saturday in May, has been going on since 1993, according to the NALC’s website.
NCWJLS kicks off livestock show season
MOSES LAKE — Young animal growers started the season March 19-21 at the North Central Washington Junior Livestock, held at the Grant County Fairgrounds in Moses Lake. “We are the first (show) of the year,” said Michelle Farrer, show manager for the NCWJLS. “So we’re the first opportunity for kids to get their animals in the show ring and work those jitters out and practice for larger shows around the area, including county shows.” The sale is a three-day affair, Farrer said. The exhibitors weigh in Thursday afternoon, show their animals all day Friday, and then they’re judged on Saturday morning. Also Saturday morning is a meat judging contest, Farrer said.
Vanderhoff named Apple Blossom Citizen of the Year
WENATCHEE — Delbert Vanderhoff of Wenatchee had no idea he’d been named the 2026 Apple Blossom Citizen of the Year. “I can’t believe they did that,” Vanderhoff said. “I’ve always told my kids, ‘This is a small town. I know everybody. You can probably do things, but you need to understand that I will find out.’ When Darci (Christopherson) came in and surprised me, I said, ‘I can’t believe you kept it a secret.’” Christopherson, the Apple Blossom Festival coordinator, said Vanderhoff was selected by a board made up of past winners, who look for things like community involvement, commitment to furthering the industry and mentoring the next generation of growers. “(Vanderhoff) has been in the business since he graduated high school,” Christopherson said. “He’s very passionate about it.
