What has been going on Wednesday nights at Spares & Pairs you ask?  Many special and exciting events that make for a wonderful dance experience… that’s what!

* Five turkeys were given away at the November 19th Thanksgiving Dance.

* Christmas cards were signed by members and mailed out by the Club Presidents, Ardus and John Vining to our non-dancing friends and shut-ins to wish them all a “Merry Christmas and Good Cheer!”

* The annual “Slightly Used Clothing Sale” headed up for many years by Jan Facklam, happened once again on December 3 and was another success.

* Graduation of our “New Beginner” class was celebrated with cake on December 10 and many of these dancers were sporting their new purchases from the week before.

* The annual “Jingle Bell Jubilee” dinner/dance hosted eleven squares on December 17.

* Dick Rueter called his last S & P dance until he returns again in April from his and Mary’s “warm-weather living” in Mesa, Arizona.

* Thanks always to Ray Belanger and Robin Fryman who share the round dance cueing each week.  (NOTE: ROBIN WILL BE SUBSTITUTING FOR RAY @ S & P DURING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY WHILE RAY IS TAKING HIS TURN IN FLORIDA WITH A WARMER CLIMATE!)

* Many visitors from “out and about” often show up on our dance floor at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Bloomington, Minnesota.  These include:

Mavis Johnson from County Line

Rose Ann Shrunk from Peppin, Wisconsin

Cathy Oster from Bloomington Swirlers

Franklin Coney from Wadena Whirlaways

Dee and Ken Scott from Westonka Whirlers and Square Dancing Marketing

* We are always happy to see our “King and Queen” Ken and Mary Egan; “Historians and Vice Presidents” Al and Cindy Martin; “Avid Dance Promoters” Don and Jan Hanson.
