The show will bring together notable figures in the Southeast Missouri community to raise funds for their Missouri neighbors in need.

According to CPSEMO's news release, "This year's theme, 'Dancing in the Rain,' will allow local dancing stars to perform a routine to songs containing the word 'rain' in the lyrics."

WSIL-TV's Evie Allen and Nick Hausen will host the event, which will be held at Drury Plaza Conference Center in Cape Girardeau.

The event will feature judges from the community along with special guest judges Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov, who have appeared on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

The Show Me Stars for this year will be Angie Massey dancing with DJ Johnson; Harter Family Dental LLC's Shelby Hawkins dancing with Michael Curry; Skyview Animal Clinic's Lindsey Schlosser and Christina Ling; Comically Inclined's Daniel Stewart dancing with Big River Communications's Breanna Bright; the room.
