Wednesday night March 18, 2015, the members and guests of Spares and Pairs gathered with Wayne and Betty Kubicek and Ray Belanger to celebrate the “Luck of the Irish!” We had over eight squares of dancers and there was much green to be seen! Thank you to these people for their enthusiasm and talent that they provided!
A big thank you is also in store to Jane and Don Hanson and Cindy and Al Martin who both put up and took down the stage and table decorations for this festive Irish themed dance! It’s always fun to be in attendance to see all the effort put forth by these volunteers in order to bring spirit and fun to the evening!
Mary Murphy our “treat table guru” does a loving job of keeping the area stocked with nutritious and enjoyable snacks to keep us energized for the pace of square and round dancing!
You never know what unplanned things might happen at a dance, and Barb Anderson certainly didn’t plan her surprise!
While in the middle of a round dance, she suddenly realized the elastic in her skirt had “given way” and stopped mid-dance to grab hold of the skirt before it “hit the ground!” One could hear Glenn, her husband say, “I didn’t do it!”
She disappeared into the ladies room and came up with a strategy to temporarily fix the situation in order to save the rest of the night. A more permanent fix will be applied in the future!
Many dancers who weekly join us often liven up the event, not only with unusual happenings, but also with costumed adornment! It was certainly true this night as the following pictures will attest.
Come join us Wednesday nights in Bloomington for a guaranteed good time!
