Heidi Gowen and City Dance owner Jens Goerner are ready for Dancing with Shuswap Stars

There's still some tickets left for the Dancing with the Shuswap Stars.

The gala event will be held Nov. 18 at the SASCU Recreation Centre. Tickets are $75 each for the evening of dance competition, live music and gourmet appies.

The event is a fundraiser for the Shuswap Hospice Society. Tickets can be purchased from the hospice office near the Salmon Arm Wharf, 781 Marine Park Dr.

Tickets are on sale Wednesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The show has also had a recent change to the contestant lineup, with Heidi Gowen being added to the line up.

As one of our previous couples, Brian Elidoros and Megan Friesen had to withdraw from the show due to unforeseen circumstances, it was the perfect opportunity to pair Heidi with City Dance owner Jens Goerner to tackle the shortened timeline for learning a sassy salsa.

Gowen is a long-time Shuswap resident, who works as an education assistant at Shuswap Middle School.

All proceeds from this event go to support the free programs offered by the Shuswap Hospice Society.
