This past Friday night August 11 we held our first dance of August with Bruce Lowther calling and Jackie Gale cueing.  Bruce brought his wife Judy with him who cued a fun round dance tip for us.  She and Bruce will be teaming up to call and cue for us once more in the near future (October 20).  Bruce called some good tips for us both at the plus and mainstream level.  Jackie did a fine job of cueing as usual and had quite a full floor for a while.  The theme was "Corn Fields and Watermelon Patches: so many wore their best farmer duds and were treated to corn on the cob and watermelon supplied by our President, Joy Pitts, and our Vice President ,Melba Walker.  They also did a fabulous job of decorating the hall.  They are both well known for their decorating prowess.  Joy used to be in charge of Mid-Winter decorations.

 

The dance center just had our floors refinished.   They look wonderful--almost like brand new, but it will take a while to break them in.    Our operations manager Marv Baker has promised to put something down on the floor to make them easier on the feet , ankles and knees.  

 

We have one more dance on August 25 with a Hawaiian theme so if you have some Hawaiian gear to wear or bring, please do so.  We are still casual so shorts with a Hawaiian shirt is great.  Mark Wheeler will be calling and Jackie Gale cueing.

In September our Sock Hop with Root Beer Floats will be called and cued by Craig Abercrombie.  This should be a really fun dance with lots of poodle skirts and jeans and T-shirts on the floor.  This will be held on Sept. 15.  On Sept. 22 will be our Ducks Versus Beavers dance with Mark Wheeler  and Jackie Gale.  Wear the colors of your favorite and come join us for a great night of dancing.

Thank you, Melba Walker and Judy Melendrez, for sharing the photos you took.
