Culture Briefs: Photo Gallery: Project Safe's '70s vs. '80s Lip-Sync Battle, Groovy Nights

UGA Vets 4 Pets & People performed Tina Turner's cover of "Proud Mary."

Athens mayor-elect Kelly Girtz and others got their groove on Saturday at Groovy Nights.

The 17th annual '70s- and '80s-themed lip-syncing contest, held at The Foundry this year, raised funds for Project Safe, a local nonprofit that works to prevent domestic violence and offers assistance to survivors and their children.

Girtz—who played coy about his song selection last week—went with Madonna's "Express Yourself."

The county commissioner wasn't the only elected official on stage, either. Watkinsville Mayor Dave Shearon also got into the act.

Flagpole photographer Savannah Cole captured the event.
