The 103.5 WGRR “Married with Microphones” morning team of  Chris O’Brien and Janeen Coyle have been married for 32 years, and have worked together in some capacity for longer than that!  This is there second time hosting the All Star Gala, however much has changed in the past six years.

The evening began with Silent Auctions, Raffles, ring toss, and cocktails, followed by an elegant dinner of filet or salmon. The award presentations took place after dinner ending with music and dancing provided by “The Remains” band. Everyone in attendance had a fabulous time!
