Habitat for Humanity to hold pre-sale of Daddy-Daughter Dance tickets

An early Christmas present will be available for purchase for an event that has been selling out of tickets early.

The Dublin-Laurens County Habitat for Humanity will have its only pre-Christmas sale for its 21st annual Daddy-Daughter Dance from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Dec. 6 at Pine Forest Methodist Church, 400 Woods Ave.

“This is the best day and best time to get a ticket,” said Habitat Executive Director Tracy Kinney.

Habitat can accept Venmo, PayPal, credit card, check or cash. Tickets are $30.

“The money from this event goes to House No. 44,” Kinney said. “We are currently working on House No. 43 and hope to be done with it and have the new homeowner in by the first of the year.” 

The dance will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 13, in the DuBose Porter Center on the campus of Oconee Fall Line Technical College.

“It shows the girls how they should be treated on a date,” Kinney said. “We’ve had them come in with a diaper bag. A lot of the dads try to start a tradition, so they are bringing them anywhere between an infant up to 18 years old.” 

Kinney said they will also be selling shirts for $20 and cups for $25.

“This is new merchandise we are adding,” she said. “We will be pre-selling those. An order form will be at the church on Dec. 6.”
