2010 July 5th – American Night

graham — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 01:33:17 +0000

We hold an annual “American Night” around the 4th July and theme the night with red, whites and blues. Supper includes mini hot dogs, apple pies and donuts and musically we take a journey through the states of America with the singing calls.

Here’s some photos of our dance this year. (Thanks to Hilda for the photos).

A fantastic night of fun, food and great people! We celebrated St Patrick’s Day with a spud feast to start the night. Our spud caterers did a great job in feeding the five thousand (well it seemed like it!).

Most dressed in green and with Irish music between brackets and jigs for Round Ups it all added to a great atmosphere. Thanks to our committee and helpers who came in early to decorate the hall and clean up afterwards. It was all grand – indeed it was.

2010 February 15th: St Valentine’s Charity Night

As is our custom, our Valentine night was also a fund raiser. This year the vote was for the Beyond Blue initiative - an organisation that assists people with depression. The door takings, raffle and sale of pre-loved square dance clothing raised just over $1,000 for this organisation. The hall looked beautiful with the hearts and cupids. Thanks to all who joined us and dressed to match in the red, whites and pinks. It was a great atmosphere and of course set to music with the “love” theme – romantic and raunchy!

We had the pleasure of welcoming square dancers from Leipzig in Germany – Dietmar, Birgit and their daughter Silvia. Whilst mum and dad spoke only broken English, Silvia acted as interpreter and was amazed by this wonderful thing called square dancing. A wonderful family – so friendly and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We love the fact that this is an international dance form!

2009 August 10th – Pancake Night – a night with Royalty!

This makes the feeding of the five thousand seem like a family picnic! We again invited the Pancake King and his serving maiden to cook and dish out as many pancakes as a gathering of square dancers could eat. A big ask of anyone! So many enjoyed the fare and were seen queueing up for seconds, thirds, fourths and more. Scott and Kaye - the Pancake King and assistant, did a great job and I think this year his aim is improving or dancers are getting better at catching the flipped crepes.

Here’s some photos from our very green Spud night held in March. Not only were the decorations and outfits green but so was a lot of the food! The Spud caterers did an excellent job of keeping up with demand and a grand night was had by all. Begorrah!

2009 Feb 16th – Valentine’s Charity Night

Our annual charity dance raised over $1,000 for the chosen charity – the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. Thanks to all who donated either through door admission, raffle and/or purchase of pre-loved square dance clothing.

It was great to see such a large attendance and beautifully decked out in red and whites. The red-themed supper was a treat too – thanks to those who went to some effort to bring something along.

2009 Jan 26th – Aussie Night BBQ

: Didgeridoo on Aussie Night

Well it was certainly an Aussie summer night as we gathered around for our BBQ and dance. A 37 degC day but fortunately our hall airconditioning works well.

It was a great crowd and all heartily got stuck into their tucker at their tables. A big thanks to the Flagstaff Venturers who again cooked for us and used this as a fundraiser.

The hall looked great and thanks to the committee who tethered up all the Aussie animals and hung our flags. Nice to see the green and gold colour schemes and Aussie theme in your outfits too.

American Night – Mon July 7th

A great night with many dressed in red, white and blue which really added to the atmosphere. The hall looked good with US flags and rosettes and the supper – what a feast. Mini hot dogs, donuts and apple pies supplemented with some creative fare brought by oour dancers.

We hope you enjoyed our musical tour through the states of America. It’s interesting to see how many songs relate to one state or another! New York, Mississippi, Hollywood, Rocky Mountains and more.

Thanks to our decorating crew and to everyone who came and made it a night with atmosphere.
