The Timber Trail Education Association (TTEA) hosted an evening of dancing and fun for girls who go to Timber Trail Elementary and their dads.

Girls danced to music provided by DJ Michael Howell (DenverDJDaddy.com) and enjoyed cupcakes and raffle prizes, including a much-desired American Girl Doll.
“It was nice to see Dads getting to know each other, they get to know their kids’ friends and their dads, which helps create a feeling of community at our school,” said Pfeiffer.
The TTEA partnered with local eateries including Duke’s Steakhouse, The Ridge and La Dolce Vita, to offer discounts on local dining before the dance. The event was sponsored by Brandon Linn Orthodontics, Pediatric Care Now and Canyon Ridge Chiropractic.
