POLO – The 25th Angel Ball was held recently at Barnacopia in Polo.
This long-running event is a fundraiser for three local charities: Village of Progress, Serenity Hospice and the Rotary Foundation. This year’s event drew a large crowd of 220 attendees. Dinner was catered by Costa’s Restorante from Byron and live music was provided by Yazz Jazz.
