Singer Sara Evans and dancing cap Eric Greitens’ first day as governor

Country music star and Missouri native Sara Evans performed Monday night at Gov. Eric Greitens’ inaugural ball.

Evans, a native of New Franklin, Mo., sang to a packed crowd of hundreds in the Capitol rotunda. She performed hits such as “I Miss Missouri,” “Suds in the Bucket” and “I Could Not Ask for More.”

The governor and his wife, Sheena Greitens, danced to the traditional “Missouri Waltz” before Evans performed.

The ball is a Missouri tradition. The ceremony included lawmakers and their families walking down a staircase in the rotunda.

This year, Greitens also showed a video of himself touting his time as a boxer, his military experience and his work founding a charity for veterans.
