Fall Fling
September 27, 2022 – Pizza Ranch “Fall Fling,” Wadena, Caller Phil Miller, Cuer Donna Stone. More than three squares gathered in the meeting room at the Pizza Ranch in Wadena for the first annual “Fall Fling Dinner/Dance at the Ranch” where they warmed up with workshops presented by Phil Miller and Donna Stone, enjoyed dinner from the pizza and fried chicken buffet and salad bar, then returned to the excellent wood dance floor to dance the evening away. A number of people in the main dining area paused as they passed the glass doors to watch the dancing, so we got some free publicity from the event too. Phil has already reserved the space for next September’s second annual fling at the ranch.
