WAITSBURG – The Waitsburg Elementary School multipurpose room was hopping on Saturday night as dads and daughters entered the magical world of Alice in Wonderland for the Waitsburg Home and School Association's (HASA) Third Annual Daddy-Daughter Dance.

Fifty-two dads or father figures attended with their daughters. Girls ranged in age from 2-years-old to 13-years-old and came from Waitsburg and surrounding areas to bring in $1010 for the HASA.

"Even with the snow scare there were more dads this year and we made $400 more than last year," said HASA treasurer Mandy Kiefel.

Walla Walla DJ David Long provided music and a photobooth. Alice in Wonderland decorations were provided by Tammy Hersey of Dayton. Attendees entered the lobby, which was decorated as a forest before going through the rabbit hole and into Wonderland. Inside was a Mad Hatter's table, a Queen of Hearts with castle, an Alice doll breaking out of a house and a Cheshire cat in a tree.

The popular fundraiser brings in money to be used to purchase school supplies for all Waitsburg students, a goal of the HASA. The Home and School Association meets in the Waitsburg Elementary School library on the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. Anyone interested in supporting Waitsburg students is welcome.
