They’ll be dancing into the night Saturday at the Kirbo Center at Bainbridge College, as the Decatur County Special Olympics puts on its second annual “Snowflake Ball.”

Many communities have a Special Olympics committee, but then the only event that they hold each year is the actual “Special Olympics” track-and-field competition. We are lucky in Bainbridge that our committee not only holds the track-and-field event, but also special bowling days and Saturday’s “Snowflake Ball.” The idea behind the ball is that it will allow Decatur County’s handicapped and special-needs citizens to enjoy the fun of a high-school prom night, complete with decorations, music, and dancing. Lots and lots of dancing.

This is a wonderful event and we are happy that it’s going to be held for a second straight year. We hope it continues for many years more.
