Stars ready to hit the dance floor

Dancing with the Vernon Stars steps out in a different direction this year. In previous years, the stars have partnered with professional dance instructors to dazzle the judges and win audience votes. This year, five local celebrity couples have been taking lessons and are ready to show theyve got talent at the Aug. 20 event which is a fundraiser for the North Okanagan Hospice Society.
