The South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District’s Dad and Daughter Ball attracted a record number of participants this year, prompting talks of potentially relocating the dance to a larger space in 2016.

The ball has become a popular event for young women and their guardians. According to Carrie Monforte, program coordinator, 124 male guardians and 159 young women attended this year’s dance, which took place on March 7.

The dance was held in the South Whidbey High School Commons. Monforte noted that the space was a bit crowded with the number of dads and daughters as well as tables and chairs.

At a regular parks meeting March 18, Monforte discussed possible alternative spaces with the board, but no decision was made.
