The latest YouTube sensation is starring Nana Feole, 88. Take a look at her dancing to the 1961 hit "Runaround Sue." Here`s the story: Her granddaughter, Chelsey Feole, picks her up once a week to go out to eat. Once Chelsey is in the driveway, she rolls down all her car windows and blasts the "oldies" station on the radio.

It never fails, every week, Nana comes dancing out of the house to whatever song is playing with hips swinging and shoulders rocking. She keeps dancing for several minutes before reaching the car. This video has over a million hits on YouTube and now Nana Feole has her own channel with more videos just like this one. I think she gives Elvis a run for his money with those hips.

Trending locally, we`ve been covering it all week here on KFYR-TV. I`m talking about Saint Baldrick`s Day and the "Brave the Shave" event. All over, people have been donating their time, money and hair to Saint Baldrick`s day to raise awareness of cancer in children. Thousands of people and organizations across the country participate in this cause.

Basin Electric in Bismarck is one of them. They`ve already raised almost $900,000 and shaved 233 heads. When asked why they do it, many respond simply by saying, "Why not?"

Mike Eggl, Senior Vice President of Communications for Basin Electric said, "This was almost a thing you couldn`t talk to families about but now there`s hope. And so giving the families hope, giving the children hope and giving them the tools so they can find that hope. We think that`s very important."

Also trending locally is "Spitfire Grill" at Dakota Stage. It`s a southern-style musical about a woman who just got out of jail looking to start over and finds a job at a struggling restaurant called the Spitfire Grill. This is said to be an inspirational story of fresh starts. Here are the details. The show is now playing through March 24th. Tickets are $23 for adults or $20 for seniors, students and military.

You can get your tickets at the door or by calling the theater at 701-258-4998. Also, visit their Facebook page by searching "Dakota Stage LTD" for more information.
