Woodstock’s Chief of Police Calvin Moss and his partner, professional dancer Sierra Gooch, won the 8th annual Dancing for the Children celebrity dance challenge. The mid-April competition, sponsored by the Service League of Cherokee County, was held along with the 52nd annual ball at the Northside Hospital Cherokee Conference Center.

Moss was among the local celebrities who committed to raising at least $3,000 for the cause, while training with professional dance instructors who donated their time and expertise.
