Mr. Bill Dees was a surprise guest singer at WOTT.  He is  famous for his song writing collaborations with singer Roy Orbison. 
Mr. Dee's sang Pretty Woman and had some of the women come up on stage.




We had a surprise band.  Surprise..it was Emerald City again and they sounded like a totally different band.  They are so fun and played the best dance music!

Some awards being given out.


As you can see the dance floor was always full!  I think everyone had a great time.

Let me in on the joke....

Some of my friends....Mr Dees swears the L was for my last name (Long).  Hope so!

Well it was another great year. Thank you to all the people who make WOTT possible and to all the wonderful people who participate. 

See you next year!
