Quite a few Single Trees attended the New year's Eve dance at the hall hosted by Roger Putzler and Christina Corelli and the rest of the CCCA callers and cuers who came from near and far. dancers from Whirl-A-Ways, Spin cycle Squares and Single Trees were joined by lots of guests from out of town. There were six squares on the floor to kick off the night with many more sitting and chatting with one another. The hall was decorated even more with sparkling garland, party hats, noise makers and poppers provided by Roger and Christina. It was so exciting to enter the hall and see so many round dancers on the floor for pre-rounds. Of course since the parking lot was so full we knew there would be lots of dancers inside.
Roger and Christina did a fine job of calling and cueing as they always do. They were joined by other CCCA callers and cuers. There was a lot of food on the break bar and sparkling cider was on hand to toast in the new year using Chicago time at 10PM which was the time the dance was slated to end. However, Roger wanted to do one more tip to ring in the new year properly. What a fun time! It has been awhile since we have seen six squares on the floor. Let's hope this bodes well for the future of square dancing in our area.
