It is a new year and time to get ready for the upcoming Black & Blue Ball on February 22, 2013 at the Peoria Civic Center Ballroom. I was allowed to be part of the fun at Fired Up Studios in Peoria Heights, and capture some images of the kids creating pieces of art for the auction. A big shout out goes to Kati the gracious host for the day along with her fabulous staffers. All of the proceeds from the auction and dance will benefit the children at Easter Seals.
