'Local Celebrities Who Think They Can Dance' competition returns

High Sierra Swing Dance Club invites the public to its fifth annual Swing Into Spring dinner-dance gala on April 28 at the Carson Nugget, 507 N. Carson St.

A sit-down dinner is served at 7 p.m., followed by dancing to a variety of DJ music. Dust off your evening gowns and neckties for an evening of great food and even better dancing. Raffle prizes - services and goods from local merchants and individuals - will be awarded throughout the evening.
