Knowles III of Ferguson as the fourth host of the ball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The ball will take place from 6:30 to 11 p.m. and features food, dancing, and attendance prizes. Last year, more than 400 guests and 52 sponsors helped raise $27,000 for Valley Industries Sheltered Workshop, a non-profit organization with a mission to provide dignified, meaningful employment for adults with developmental disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The Bob Kuban Band will provide music, and students from the Clark Academy of Irish Dance will also perform.<\/p>\n<p>Valley Industries Workers of the Year, Mike Riner and Lynette Roberson, will be crowned as King and Queen of the Ball.<\/p>\n<p>Eight local caterers and restaurants will provide hors d\u2019oeuvres, pastries and desserts.

Six years ago, as a board member of Valley Industries, he had the idea for the first Shamrock Ball. He and his wife Colleen, who is Hazelwood\u2019s City Clerk, have attended several of the St. Louis Mayor\u2019s Mardi Gras Balls.\u00a0 According to Wolf, \u201cWe thought it would be a great idea to do a similar event with an Irish St. Patrick\u2019s Day theme as a fund-raiser for Valley Industries.\u00a0 The rest of the Board liked the concept and we were able to initially recruit the mayors of three North County cities to help us host the event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wolf said of this year\u2019s ball, \u201cwe anticipate this year\u2019s event to be the biggest and best one yet.\u00a0 The addition of Ferguson\u2019s mayor as one of the hosts opens the door for other North County businesses and residents to support this worthy cause.\u00a0 Anyone who is willing to purchase an individual ticket or be an event sponsor is welcome to take part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 500 tickets are available on a first come, first serve basis for $100 per person. They can be ordered online at www.ValleyInd.net or by mail: Valley Industries Sheltered Workshop; 143 B McDonnell Boulevard, Hazelwood, MO, 63042.\u00a0 Please make the checks payable to Valley Industries.\u00a0 For questions, call 731-1771.<\/p>\n<p>Local businesses, civic organizations and entrepreneurs interested in supporting Valley Industries as an event sponsor have several choices in sponsorship levels.
