The show featured a fantastic banquet with over 100 in attendance.  Entertainment included Dwayne Davenport with audience participation sing-alongs.  Grant Saltzman with John and Carol McDouglald were the "drip point singers" provided some foot stomping music.  Cherie Anthony did a beautiful rendition of "Wind Beneath my Wings" and Christian Willis (15 at the time) played Scott Joplin ragtime on the piano.
