Youth 2 Youth Berlin, a community youth group formed under the auspices of TRACs (Together Reducing Alcohol and drugs in our CommunitieS) held its kick-off Teen Night event, “Glow Crazy,” on Friday, March 9, in the Ballroom of the Bridgeway Restaurant in Cherry Plain.
The event was attended by approximately 50 area youths who had a great time taking part in group dances, balloon stomping, twister, pool games, door-prizes and raffles. Raffle tickets were available for sale, but youths could also earn them by dancing or participating in the games. They could even earn extra tickets by dancing with the giant bear that was later raffled off.
