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.”

Growing fast
Gray Girl Farms nursery springs up near Royal City
ROYAL CITY — It’s one thing to grow and sell flowers. Owning a complete nursery is something else altogether, especially when you have only months to build it. “The learning curve has been really steep,” said Kylie Gray-Eilers. “I just always tell myself that every day is a new day.” Gray-Eilers isn’t a stranger to raising plants; her Gray Girl Farms has sold dahlias for almost eight years, and she holds a Dahlia Days festival every year in October. The dahlia operation was beginning to reach the point where she needed either to scale it back or grow, she said. So when she learned that Robin Prchal, owner of Emerald Desert Nursery in Quincy, was fixing to retire, Gray-Eilers decided it was time to expand.

Institute of Beauty Professionals trains barbers, nail techs and more
MOSES LAKE — It takes a lot of training to make people look their best. “(A license to do) nails is 600 hours (of instruction),” said Institute of Beauty Professionals owner and instructor Nicholas Harle. “Cosmetology is 1,640 hours, barbering is 1,000, hair design is 1,440 and aesthetics is 750.” IBP takes its own private students and also serves the Columbia Basin Technical Skills Center’s cosmetology program, Harle said. Those students spend 2 1/2 hours a day at IBP and earn credits in lab science, technical science, first aid and fine arts, he said. There were 61 CBTECH students at IBP last year, he said, and there are about 25 full-time students.
