June 2016 Square Dances

Single Trees Dances:

June 10: Reigning Cats and Dogs Dance - Fund Raiser for Greenhill Humane Society. Donations - dog and cat food, toys, blankets, old towels, etc. You can always give them a call and see what they could use and then bring it to the dance. Cash is always appreciated. 7:30 pm starts with Plus, and 8:00 pm is rounds and mainstream squares until 10:30 p.m. 'Girls Night Out' ( Sandy Harris, Charlotte Jeskey, and Jackie Gale) will be calling for your dancing pleasure. Jackie Gale will be cueing. I wonder if the kitty litter cake will show up this time.

June 24: Jim Hattrick will be calling. Jackie Gale will be our cuer. Same dancing format as above. We could use those finger foods (maybe some more healthy snacks as well as those desserts).

Round dancers at the Mexican Fiesta Dance held May 13.

Some photos from the Mexican Fiesta Dance we did with the Whirl-A-Ways on May 13th. It was a wonderful dance with a incredible taco bar and an incredible number of people - over 100 with half of them surprise guests from the Independence Wagon Wheelers!

They got a banner for sure!

They danced the night away until the final bell.

Keep Going...

Was that left or right?

Thanks to all who submitted photos from the dance.
