A group of local “stars” will vie to shine brightest, when they strap on dancing shoes for Statesboro’s first ever celebrity dancing competition next month. Prominent personalities from the local community will pair with professional dancers to raise funds for Safe Haven of Statesboro through the organization’s ‘Dancing with the Statesboro Stars’ competition Thursday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. inside the Emma Kelly Theater. “The Dancing with the Stars event is going to be a fun event,” said Laurie Bradford, a counselor with Safe Haven, which helps victims of domestic violence and their children throughout Bulloch and surrounding counties.
