In photos: A night of sweethearts
The tradition of the Girl Scout Sweetheart Dance continued Feb. 28 at New Milford High School. Girls age 5 and up attended a festive event, accompanied by their adult sweetheart- dad, mom, grandfather, uncle or aunt, cousin, etc. - presented this year by Troops 40231 and 40287. Activities included a portrait booth, a selfie booth, games, music and dancing, refreshments, and more.
