N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Safe Shelter Executive Director Lynne Tally says they had an excellent turnout for the first ever Barn Dance to raise money for Mary’s Place.

“We had just over 100 people there to eat and dance and we raised $7,440,” Tally reported Tuesday. “As someone said afterward, ‘Great food, great venue, great band, and all for a great cause!’ The first annual Barn Dance and BBQ was a success.”

Tally says $6,465 was raised from sales and tickets with another donation of $975 from Newman Signs. All money will go on to assist with funding Mary’s Place, a living space for domestic violence and sexual abuse victims.

In an interview in July, Tally told NewsDakota.com that they needed somewhere around $300,000 to $400,000 to complete the project.
