In the spirit of the hit song from “Grease,” Victoria Stratton and Sam Ditzfeld were the ones that the audience wanted (“ooh, ooh, ooh”) on Saturday at the final “Sedalia Stars” competition. For the fifth-straight year in the Stauffacher Theatre, State Fair Community College’s fundraiser was highlighted by the tongue-in-cheek dance competition patterned after TV’s “Dancing with the Stars.”
It hasn’t been determined what will replace “Sedalia Stars” next year, but some suggestions were thrown out there: Emcee Jim Shoemaker pitched an acrobatic show in the style of “Cirque du Soleil” and warned local celebrities to stay away from their phones if SFCC came calling for volunteers.
