Greetings Folkdancers, Here are our dancelists from the past two Saturdays. We dance again Saturday 08-09-08 (tonight) from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Salvation Army gym in Kalispell, 110 Bountiful Drive. Last Saturday Jon rejoined us, recuperating from hip surgery in early July. He danced quite a few dances, assisted with a cane, so he's definitely healing quickly. Good to have him back. Due to the long summer days, many of us have been rolling in to folkdancing a half hour to an hour late, which is a bit rude to Russ, who arrives at 7 and waits to see if anyone is coming. Thus there is a motion on the table to push our starting time back to 7:30 or 8 p.m. for at least the rest of the summer. Comments? Opinions? We'll probably decide at tonight's gathering. Cecelia sends the following statewide announcements: DANCING AND LIVE MUSIC AT HALLIE'S WEATHER ROCK BARN! Saturday, September 6th 1-9:30 pm Scottish, International, Turning Dances, and Contras throughout the day, with a potluck dinner and a place for those who want to stay overnight. Located at 678 Flathead Creek Rd.( Hwy 86) right on the line between Gallatin and Park Counties. I think the musician line-up will be pretty similar to last year, but this time we'll get to celebrate with Ken and Margaret Emerson and delight in their years of dancing together. More news to follow- but I wanted you all to get this on your calenders. P.S. There was a nice article on the Emerson's in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on Monday, July 28th, page A3.
