(ABC 6 NEWS) - This time of year, the Greater Rochester Arts and Cultural Trust is usually gearing up for its Dancing for the Arts event, but for the second year in a row, it s postponed because of the pandemic.
Dancing for the Arts is a popular fundraiser in Rochester that pairs some amazing talent with local celebrities. The event raises about
$30,000 for youth arts education programs, but it is being delayed again because of COVID-related restrictions. 2020 would have been the 9th year for Dancing for the Arts, but was postponed to 2021, and is now being moved to 2022. This event sells out every year and is a huge production. Organizers are planning to be back on April 2, 2022.
At least 50 homeless people were displaced last week when the City of Ocala leveled a tent city.
The encampment was on city-owned land just west of Pine Avenue and north of Northeast 14th Street. There were approximately 30 tents there, and the police department had noted an increase in property and violent crime, including a stabbing the week of Jan. 25, a city spokeswoman wrote in an email to the Star-Banner. The property was overwhelmed with trash, abandoned tents, furniture, bicycle parts, broken toys, shopping carts, fire pits, wooden pallets, electronics, tires, empty beer and soda cans, and various types of broken glass and pottery. Areas of human waste were also observed, the email said.
