This signed baseball is just one of the celebrity items featured in a blind auction during the second annual "Take a Walk in Her Shoes Ball" at 7:00 p.m. Friday, March 11. The Crystal Lake Holiday Inn is the location for the annual fundraiser for McHenry County College. A portion of the proceeds will benefit "Women In Transition" scholarship for a woman 24 years or older to attend MCC.

This is the second year for this event and will feature a returning highlight "Strut Your stuff" contest in which registered contestants show off their shoes on stage for prizes from five different categories: "Sinful Stiletto", "Bombshell Bootie," Scintillating Sandal,' and "Funky Footwear."  Judging is handled by local judges.

The MCC Art Department will be showcased by art students creating coasters, which will be given as a gift to all event attendees. Other students are participating in their own contest called "Nice Shoes 2," where students will decorate and redesign shoes that were donated. The shoes created by students will be used as centerpieces at the event.

This event is held in conjuction with Women's History Month. Both men and women are invited.
