GNADENHUTTEN A dance trio consisting of Mila Ridgway and Ezrah McMorrow, both of Gnadenhutten, and Briella Moody, of Uhrichsville, took first place in the Gnadenhutten Fireworks Festival Talent Show.
They won $100 on Friday evening with their performance to “The Floor Is Lava.” The girls, all 3 years old, were cheered on by their mothers and the large audience at Hecks Grove Park.
“This is the first year for dance lessons,” said Savanna McMorrow. “The girls are just happy to be able to do it. After their dance, Ezrah said ‘I want to do that again.’” The girls take lessons at Legacy Dance Studio in Uhrichsville.
