For the fifth and final time, local residents will glide across the Stauffacher Theater stage to raise money for State Fair Community College scholarships and programs.
This year’s Sapphire Soirée, set for 6 p.m. Saturday, will feature previous participants in the “Sedalia Stars” dance competition paired with first-time dancers. Kathy Beykirch, chairwoman of the SFCC Foundation Special Events Committee that hosts the event, is lacing up her dancing shoes again after taking part in the first “Sedalia Stars” contest.
