Surprised Stars Get Their Groove On By PatriCk CoLeman Preparations for the second annual Dancing with the Wrentham Stars charity event are well underway. The six Wrentham “stars” have been announced, the dancing lessons have started, and fundraising efforts have begun. The event, which raised over $60,000 for local charities last year, takes unsuspecting locals and places them in the unique position of being dance stars for one night. At the end of the evening judges will select the Best Dancer and the star that raises the most money for his/her charity is named the People’s Choice winner. The event is set for March 28th at Lake Pearl Luciano’s. Tickets are on sale February 8th, at Tavern at Wrentham, 263 Shears St., Wrentham, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and cost $50.
