Ar-Dale Dancers

March 8, 2015 – It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon for our March dance.  Our caller, Dean Dederman and Cuer, Ken LaBau did a great job entertaining 11 squares from 16 clubs.  Celebrities in attendance were Michelle Jenson, Federation Vice President; SDM Chair, LeRoy Elfmann; Secretary, Bob Meyer and Treasurer, Deb Hollimon.  Queens in attendance were Mavis, County Line; King Mel, Single Circles; Mickey and Ben, Square & Twirl and our own Sharon Dohrmann.  Clubs stealing small banners were County Line Squares; Hotfoot Stompers; South Metro Stars, Spares & Pairs and Westonka Whirlers.  Many nice items were brought in for our used clothing sale.  Thanks to Gale Larson for handling the purchases. There were many green treats and other dishes at the potluck table for everyone to enjoy.  Spring is almost here so lets keep those dancing feet going.
