It's time again for fathers to look forward to a special night with their daughters as the Father-Daughter Ball is just days away.
The Rotary Club of Rockdale County's fourth annual Father-Daughter Ball, entitled A Magical Night, will be on Saturday, Feb. 6 at the Rockdale Career Academy with doors opening 6 p.m. Dinner begins at 6:30 p.m., followed by dancing until 9 p.m. This year's event, entitled "A Magical Night," will feature the dazzling skills of magician Joe M. Turner, an award winning performer of illusions who has been seen on Good Morning America, Nightline, CNN Headline News and in other media outlets.

Tickets are $40 per father, $30 for first daughter and $20 each additional daughter available only through advance sales. The deadline to purchase tickets is Monday Jan. 25.
