On Saturday, the Tyler Star News and the Wells Inn will sponsor the inaugural Remembrance Ball from 7-10 p.m. at the hotel in Sistersville. Proceeds from the event will benefit Relay for Life of Tyler County.

Hors d’oeuvres will be served in the hotel’s formal dining room throughout the evening, with dancing in the courtyard. Music will be provided by Rick Estep (DJ Vyros). Additionally, Dave Wells will be on hand to provide romantic carriage rides through the city.

Couples will have the opportunity to pose for photographs for a small donation. Each couple will receive a 5×7 print as a souvenir.
