On Saturday, April 28th, we had our annual Mystery Caravan. The bus was full, there were a lot of interesting contests and games which made a fun-filled and exciting trip! We went to Northwest Trek in Eatonville, had lunch, then toured the park and went on the tram ride to see a lot of interesting animals. From there we went to Sumner for pizza and then on to the Sumner Hall to dance with Tom Tomlinson at the Roamin’ Tacomans.
I want to thank Kathy Kellberg and Gina Trenkamp for doing this caravan 3 years in a row and for such a fun and exciting trip each year. You know, I’ve been involved in some mystery murder dinners with these two in the past and it’s always been an exciting time, so I knew they would do a great job for the Mystery Caravan. I want to thank you two for all your hard work in planning this event and for my part, I had a great time. I was also pleased to notice a lot of our new members (formerly students) were on this trip.
The dance year is winding down, however, there are plenty of places to dance this summer. Circle 8 has something going all summer long and of course, the National Convention in Spokane in late June.
I want to remind all round dancers that Randy is starting Round Dance Workshops at 6:30 on dance night. This is Phase 3 with some Phase 4, so come on out and learn some new moves.
Hope to see you on the dance floor!
