TIM WEIGHT/FOR THE EXPRESS

Though it managed to raise over $1,000 in strictly cash donations at the event, the Clinton County United Way and Express community newspaper’s 3rd Annual Masquerade Benefit Ball raised roughly $3,000 for the United Way and its partners. The event, held at the Sons of Italy’s heated patio on Oct. 18, saw roughly 150 people attend in their best dressed and best mask to enjoy food by The Beech Creek Hotel, a photo booth by photographer Tim Weight and music provided by DJ Kyle Turchetta. The event also featured a basket raffle, gift pop and contests. This year’s masquerade was sponsored by: UPMC (Diamond Sponsor), Woodlands Bank, Terrapin, Central PA Auto Auction, First Commonwealth Bank, Kamaka Hearing and Sons of Italy.
