One block of Greensburg’s West Otterman Street was lit up like the Sin City Strip on Feb. 23 for Party at the Palace Vegas Style.

The stage became the Flamingo Hotel Lounge for the VIP pre-party and main event bottle service.

While renewing vows, Amy Amond promised to never treat husband Chad Amond like a hound dog, while Chad promised never to let Amy check into Heartbreak Hotel.
Altogether, 13 couples came before The King to profess their hunka hunka burnin’ love.
Before the fun began, trust interim CEO Nancy Anderson warned the crowd that “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”
Event chair was Peg Colosimo, assisted by event director Kelli Brisbane and sub-chairs Mary Ann Jaram, Lyn Emrick, Gail Follador, Anne-Marie Welty, Missy Smeltz, Magdelyn Vale, Connie Mahl, Gary Pratt and Jeanie and Kevin Bock.
