On Saturday, October 11, 2025, friends, family, and supporters gathered under the twinkling lights of Landmark Park’s Stokes Barn for Moonlight Masquerade: A Spooky Night for Noah’s Fight — a magical evening benefitting COTA for Noah James.
The venue and bar services were graciously donated by Landmark Park, setting the stage for an unforgettable night of food, music, costumes, and community spirit. Guests arrived as the doors opened at 7:30 p.m., greeted by the soulful sounds of Will Brewer, who kindly donated his musical talents for the evening.
Dinner was a highlight, generously sponsored and catered by CB’s Restaurant at 1036 Ross Clark Circle in Dothan, AL. The meal was nothing short of delicious — featuring baked chicken, grilled chicken fingers, mashed potatoes with gravy, macaroni and cheese, green beans, rolls, and a sweet finish of classic banana pudding. Cupcakes in three different delicious flavors were donated by The Flour Sack Bakery at 286 Westgate Parkway, Dothan, AL.
As guests dined, the Silent Auction opened with more than 30 exciting items up for bid. Competition was friendly but fierce until the auction closed at 10:30 p.m. After dinner, the energy shifted to the dance floor as costume contest voting began and the night came alive with laughter, dancing, and plenty of spooky fun.
The cash bar stayed open throughout the evening, and the celebration concluded with the announcement of contest winners.
- Best Couples Costume: Jesse and Shelby Hallford — dressed as the timeless Morticia and Gomez Addams (and proud parents of Noah James).
- Overall Best Costume: Kristy Kirkland — who charmed the crowd as The Fairy Godmother.
At the end of the night, silent auction winners collected their prizes and everyone left with full hearts — knowing their participation made a real difference. Together, this incredible community raised $5,182 for COTA for Noah James!
