Acknowledging, "I don't know how women do it all day," Huntington Mayor Steve Williams, Barboursville Mayor Chris Tatum , Cabell County Sheriff Charlie McComas, and Fire Chief Carl Eastham participated in the annual Stelleto Stroll at Ritter Park with local celebrities, such as WSAZ TV's Tim Irr.

Williams laughed and remained seated wearing bright red spike heels. He laughed referring to Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" stating, "click too heels together." He also did a dance step and referred to a classic statement  about Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire: "'After all, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels.'

Awards were given after the Dress for Success charity event. Children were treated to a visit from the Putnam Princesses who posed with and hugged the kids.
