It's that time of year again, your favorite Salina Stars are strapping up their dancing shoes to raise funds for Theatre Salina on Friday, Aug. 18 at 7 p.m. on the Kephart Stage, 303 E. Iron Ave.

This year instead of dancing in pairs, contestants are in groups corresponding to major Kansas Universities.
