And see "Cleaning the Hall" below.



Cleaning the Hall

Ready for anything!
These are going to be spotless!
Spray, spray, spray.
At 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning, August 1st, a bunch of square dancers showed up to clean the front (and side and back doors and lights) of the Emerald Square Dance Hall. There were more cobwebs in the eaves, on windows and door frames, and dirt on the walls than one can imagine. When it was done it looked like it had been painted. We can again be proud of our square dance hall which will now be an inviting vision for visitors. 

Clean it up!
Get that dirt!
Should we do that too?
Thanks to John Pape and his power washing equipment (and cleaning the concrete  sidewalk as well), Terry Nelson and his hosing down the walls and lights, Leah Firth for cleaning up everything they left behind on the ground,  Shirley Marc for dealing with cobwebs around doors and other parking lot refuse, and John Dilg for his window washing expertise, and Michael and Diane Burt for their work and for overseeing the whole process. Yay Team!
