Western Barn Dance Review
by Sue Williamson,
Activities Committee Chairman
Another success story! You people are really a lot
of fun. You all do such a good job of participating in our
"theme" parties. The clothes are always perfect and you always do
so well with our mixers and contests. Thank you!
For those unlucky ones who couldn't be at the dance, here's
a quick recap:
Your sheriff's badge souvenir to complement your western
wear, compliments of Bill Hatton
Your vittles to satisfy your munchies were compliments
of the Activities Committee as a whole.
Your "best music in town" was compliments of our fabulous
DJ, Phil Crawford.
Your pictures were compliments of our great photographer,
Mike Strong.
Your door prizes and contest prizes were compliments of
Bill Hatton..
Who won those contests?
Two-Step Contest was a tie between Randy & Phyllis
Every and Dana & Larry Cooper. (Pretty impressive dancing!
Yahoo!)
Costume Contest was won by Cathie and Ron Dunn (Good lookin'
outfits!)
The Barn Dance mixer was, frankly, more fun than I ever
expected. Maybe we'll try it again sometime. The "Scotch, Rye
& Whiskey" mixer got more complicated this time because all of you
are getting too good! Randy Every & Mary
Carrington were the winners. Gotta keep a step ahead of you
guys. We were only about ten shy of our number from our last big
party, the Luau, so those of you who like some fun, COME ON DOWN next time.
Give it a try!

(New Year's Eve)

WHAT'S THE NEXT ACTIVITY PLANNED?
Remember, Club Night Out is still
on Tuesday evenings at the Radisson at 87th and I-35. this is such
a good time to practice with every level of dancer, which means we al automatically
get better ourselves without even realizing it. This is the "best
game in town" on Tuesday nights, so COME ON UP to Radcliff's at the top
of the Radison
The holiday season is upon us, so
a lot of other things are going on now with each of you. Therefore,
the next party event is New Year's Eve.
Why the Swing Dance Club on New Year's Eve? The reasons I can think
of are that we don't have to be around rude, drunk people that we don't
even know; that we can dance to music we want and like; and that it is
a safe place to be on such a festive night. This is the time of year,
I've noticed from the past, that we can bring out our fineries from our
closets, so let's emphasize that this year. If you have no other
plans put us on your calendar.
We have a HUGE bash planned for
February that EVERYONE will want to attend! Too much fun!
We're still working on a date for
our St. Louis Club Exchange by train. Dates are the only hold up,
so be looking for this to happen soon.
The BIGGEST
THANK YOU ever to every single one of you
who contributed to the hospitality room at the Heartland Dance Festival.
What a spread! Thanks again. You're the greatest! June
Rush thinks so, too, since she was in charge of this event. |
