BEACON and Hilltop host Valentine’s Dance for local seniors

Get ready to put on your dancing shoes and save the date for the area’s best Valentine’s dance for boomers and seniors. The seventh annual Valentine’s Dance, hosted by BEACON Senior News and Hilltop Senior Living Communities, takes place on Friday, February 14, from 7-10 p.m. in the Garden Room at the Commons of Hilltop, 625 27 1/2 Road in Grand Junction.

Bring a date, bring a friend or just bring yourself. Dancers can glide across a real wooden dance floor to the big band melodies of Clark Gault’s Swing City Express. Hilltop’s finest chefs will cook up a delectable assortment of hors d’oeuvres and sweet indulgences.

“The dance has become something people talk about and look forward to each year,” Hilltop Marketing and Communications Director Mike Green said. “People love the music, food and dancing. The dance floor is full from the band’s first number to its last. ”

The dance is open to anyone age 55 and older, but younger folks are welcome to attend as well.

“We’ll also have several dance hosts on hand to help the shy-at-heart get their groove on,” BEACON Publisher Kevin VanGundy said.

Tickets are available in advance for only $20 per person—a sweet deal, especially since each ticket includes two drinks from the bar. Call the BEACON Senior News at 243-8829 to get your tickets today.
