July 19's dance was a blast. Roger Putzler called and brought out a lot of dancers from outside Lane County. We sure appreciate seeing dancers from Lebanon, Sweet Home and Corvallis come join us. While we only had five squares on the floor one time, we held firm at 3-4 all evening long. That is a total surprise for a summer time dance with some much going on. The previous weekend was Summer Festival and the next weekend Diamond Lake but people were eager to dance and decided to drive miles to join us. What fun!
Our theme that night was Watermelon, Tie-dyes and Crazy T-Shirts. One couple, Eric and Christina definitely got with the theme wearing a sundress (she) and shirt (he) making them look like cool, delicious watermelon. Needless to say there was plenty of real watermelon to cool us down thanks to our vice president, Joy Pitts. We hope our August dances will go as well. We went dark for Diamond Lake on the 26th; however, due to large fires up there, Diamond Lake Festival had to be cancelled. What a shame!
The next day several Single Trees joined the turnout for Connie Seamans and Paul Gates's wedding out at their place in Pleasant Hill. It was a simple ceremony with a great potluck following and plenty of wedding cake on a very hot summer afternoon. We didn't mind the heat because we were all so happy to see them tie the knot after such a long time and long engagement.
Here's some photos from the dance and the wedding the next day.
I was only able to take a few photos at the dance and completely forgot to take out my iPad at the wedding. My thanks to Roger Tendick who did have the presence of mind to take a few.
