The California State Square Dance Convention in Fresno brought us together again to mingle with great dancers from all around the State. This was the 50th anniversary for this event and again proved to be one of the best dances ever! Callers included Bob Baier, Tim Crawford, Dan Nordbye, Tony Oxedine, and Charlie Robertson. How could this be better? How about Rounds with Bob & Sally Nolen, Trenna & Bruce Chadd, peter & Chama Gomez and a string of others, including our own John Flora! This proved to be a memorable event. If you were there, you know first hand what a good time all had. If you missed it, so sorry.
In celebration for growing Callers in the neighborhood, Rockin’ Jokers held their annual Amateur Callers Night this past month. It was evident that these Callers not only took this seriously, but they had real talent! Our Amateur Callers included Gary Evens, John Caywood, Mike & Joanie Murphy, Karl Belser, Allen Glesser, Bob Steele, Teri Cosentino, Marcus Haskins, and Tex Tyner. Thank you Amateur Callers!
As good as all this was, our REALLY BIG event is here!!! Rockin’ Jokers has their 5th Anniversary Circus Circus Celebration happening on Saturday, May 1st! Tony Oxedine will be the Caller and John Flora with D~Ferrero will be Cueing our Rounds. Get your ribbons as soon as you can. Follow up on this extravaganza next month.
