Beacon of Hope Community Services will celebrate its 32nd anniversary at its Annual Harvest Dinner Dance on Friday, Nov. 1 at the DoubleTree Hotel, 99 Erdman Way, Leominster.

This fun-filled event starts at 6 p.m. and showcases local “celebrities” who will perform songs, dances, challenges and tell jokes at the command of those attending. This year’s “celebrities” include Leominster Mayor Dean Mazzarella, Fitchburg Mayor Steve DiNatale, Frank and Jen of WXLO-FM 104.5, Kathy DiRusso, Dave Ginisi, Leominster Superintendent of Schools Paula Deacon and many more.
