In the past months there has been a very successful series of entertainments occurring in the SSAC auditorium, thanks to the tremendous efforts of Jay Alexov, John Keller, Violette Clark and the rest of the Entertainment Committee.
The March “At the Hop” dance featuring Jim Taylor playing 50’s and 60’s music was a huge success! Always a crowd favourite, Jim and his music did not disappoint. More than 80 people attended. Many attendees even donned poodle skirts, skinny jeans and ponytails! We had a swing dance demo by Alex and Jessica from Sun Coast Swing! Thanks guys! Congratulations to Collene Sand for best costume and to Lisa Brown and friend Erika for best twist dance! Prizes were donated by the Lighthouse Pub and Gourmet Girls Cafe. Many thanks to all who came out and enjoyed a night of retro entertainment. We appreciate the fabulous energy you all brought to this fun event. In addition, thanks to the setup crew, and in particular kudos go to Alison and Jurgen Kowalewski for their wonderful bartending.
We hope to see you all at our April 15 event – Good Vibes Dance Party – 60’s retro music with DJ Papi G! You’re going to love this one and bliss right out to music from the 60’s, and early 70’s, hippie, rock and roll and retro! Pull out your tie-dyed t-shirts, bell bottoms, psychedelic shirts, head bands and rock and roll attire if you want to get into the groove. It’s going to be a blast!
