REMINDER: The deadline to “Win A Date With Bart” (The B-Town Blog’s own Bart Bryan) is 5pm Wednesday, Feb. 10th, so we encourage all ladies who’d like to get a FREE dinner & dancing date at the Rotary Club’s Rockin’ Valentines Dinner and Dance this Saturday night to enter now.

Bart’s lucky date will enjoy complimentary cocktails, dinner, a live auction, raffle prizes and dancing to two different bands – all on the house this Saturday night, Feb. 13th at South Seattle Community College.

Our single friend Bart is 50-years young, blue-eyed, still has most of his hair, with a sparkling personality and great sense of humor. Bart confesses that he can also still “bust a move” on the dance floor, and is “looking for a fun date for a great romantic dinner dance for a great cause!”

To enter, you must be at least 21 years old and a female. We will announce the winner this Friday, Feb. 12th at Noon.

Please email us with a recent picture, a short bio and why you want to be Bart’s date by 5pm Wed. Feb. 10th!
