Eight couples will compete in this year’s Dancing with the Seymour Stars event on Sept. 22.

In its sixth year, the competition raises money for Seymour Main Street and the Boys & Girls Club of Seymour.

Each couple will perform a dance routine, and people can donate $1 a vote for their favorite dancers. The pair who collect the most money will be the winners.

Dancers are raising money now and votes can be cast online at seymourmainstreet.org.
