KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — For more than 20 years, the Kelseyville Father Daughter Dance has served as a beloved community tradition, bringing families together for an evening dedicated to connection, celebration, and lasting memories.
This year's event will be Saturday, Feb. 28, from 5 to 9 p.m. at Kelseyville Presbyterian Church, 4021 Church St.
Founded with a simple yet meaningful mission, the annual event provides girls with the opportunity to share a special evening with their father or a significant male figure in their lives.
Whether attending with a dad, grandfather, uncle, mentor or family friend, participants experience a night centered on strengthening relationships and creating joyful moments.
The event has grown into one of the community’s most anticipated gatherings, known for delivering a memorable and engaging experience for all guests.
Highlights of the evening include professional DJs, treat boxes for attendees, a flower presentation for every girl, raffle prize drawings throughout the night and a souvenir photo for every guest.
Every dollar raised through the Kelseyville Father Daughter Dance is reinvested directly into funding the event. In select years, proceeds have also supported high school scholarships benefiting girls who have participated in the dance. The event is made possible through the dedication of adult volunteers who generously donate their time and efforts.
“Our goal has always been to create a magical, meaningful experience for families,” organizers shared. “Seeing generations of attendees continue this tradition is what makes the event truly special.”
As the dance continues its long standing legacy, organizers look forward to welcoming both returning families and first time participants to celebrate another year of this treasured Kelseyville event.
For additional event information, tickets, or sponsorship opportunities, community members are encouraged to contact their Kelseyville Father Daughter Dance Facebook Page. Tickets can be purchased on Facebook, Eventbrite and at Studebakers for $25 a couple.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Redbud Audubon Society will present a program on the Grebe Monitoring project that is being spearheaded by Dr. Scott Butterfield of Pacific Union College and the Redbud Audubon Society.
The program is slated for Thursday, Feb. 19, and will be held on zoom starting at 7 p.m.
Dr. Butterfield and Donna Mackiewicz, president of the Redbud Audubon Society, are working with students from Upper Lake and Lower Lake High schools, along with tribal members to monitor the success of nesting Grebes on Clear Lake using drones and advanced AI.
The drone training is led by Dr. Butterfield and his collaborators at Pacific Union. These tools should lead to a better understanding of grebe nesting patterns while protecting sensitive habitats.
“We’re blending cutting-edge science with grassroots dedication,” noted Mackiewicz.
Stories, photos, and progress of the project will be shared during the Zoom presentation.
“We’re thrilled to share the wonderful news from Clear Lake that our beloved Western and Clark’s Grebes are continuing to thrive. Last nesting season brought encouraging signs of success. We saw strong nesting activity and an uplifting sense that grebe populations are holding steady – and even increasing in some areas. Every floating nest and fuzzy chick feels like a little victory for Clear Lake,” Mackiewicz stated.
One of the brightest highlights has been the growing involvement of local students. Since 2020, the chapter’s grebe monitoring has expanded to include enthusiastic high school science classes from Lower Lake and Upper Lake.
To register for the presentation go to www.redbudaudubon.org and click on the registration link that will take you to a quick and easy form to fill out to register. The link for the zoom program will be sent before the program.
