Tickets are still available for a rhythm-and-blues dance under the stars in Portola Valley from 8 p.m. to midnight on Saturday, Nov. 14. The dance, a fundraiser for open space acquisition, will be held at the Portola Valley Town Center at 765 Portola Road, a place where a dancer, looking skyward, will actually see stars because the town mandates low light levels.

Two local R&B bands are scheduled to play: Rusty Sterling & Friends with vocalist Kathe Dempsey, and The Outcasts with guitarist Paul Skrabo.

Refreshments include complimentary wine from the Thomas Fogarty and Hale Mary vineyards, margaritas with Tequila Don Pilar from Amigo's Grill Restaurant in Ladera, and premium beer. Dancers must be 21 or older.

The dance, sponsored by the Community Events Committee, is a fundraiser for the Portola Valley Open Space Acquisition Fund and is affiliated with the 2009 Blues and BBQ.
