The Mardi Gras Dance with The Mitch Lazer Quartet had everybody bopping with Mitch on drums and vocals, Eddy Edrik on guitar and lead vocals, Bruce Mortimer on bass and Bill Barclay on keyboards. They played a great selection of songs from the Beatles, CCR, Eric Clapton and other bands of the 60s and 70s with some waltzes thrown into the mix. Everyone had a good time – the bartenders were movin’ and groovin’ behind the bar serving beer, wine and cider while dancing to the beat. The volume was just right – loud enough to hear but not so loud that you couldn’t have a conversation with your table mates . . . old friends and new friends alike! What a great room to hold a party, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, the lighting just right (we all looked 10 years younger) and what a dance floor – room to move and easy on the legs with some slide! If you were there, you know how much fun it was and if you didn’t make it, now’s the time to get your tickets for the St.
Patrick’s Day dance on March 16th with the Shamrockers – Kevin O’Crofton, guitar and vocals, Graham O’Walker on drums, Boyd O’Norman on bass, Heidi O’Kurz on harp and flute and Janice O’Hamilton on fiddle. They’ll be playing some jigs and Celtic songs so put on your Irish and join us!
Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Lucky winners of tickets to this show are Ron Skene, Sarah Gerring and Michael Norton. As at every dance, there will be chances to win tickets to April’s dance as well as a 50/50 draw. The beer, wine and cider bar will be open with some non-alcoholic beverages also available.
A gigantic thank you to all the volunteers who made this event possible! It wouldn’t happen without you. Gotta love how people pitch in to help put things away after the dance too – done in no time flat – thank you.
Looking forward to the next dance – see you then!
