The Peace Area Riding for the Disabled Society (PARDS) held their annual Dine 'n Dance fundraiser on Saturday night (Nov 2, 2019) at Five Mile Hall east of Grande Prairie.  The event attracted a large crowd ready to raise funds for the local non-profit that provides therapeutic riding programs for Peace Country residents.  The night included dinner, silent auction and a live auction that included Grande Prairie city councillor Chris Thiessen auctioning off the right to shave his head.  Total funds raised during the evening should be made known in the coming days.
