Last year's Anniversary Dance
Bob Isaacs continues our Anniversary tradition of coordinating callers that honed their calling chops at Swingin’ Tern. Sue Gola, Karen Justin, and Christie Riehl are likely to be booked.
Doug Healy Band
Doug Healy coordinates several bands. He is in the process of choosing one to celebrate our 43rd Anniversary.
USEFUL INFORMATION:
- We have a sliding admission scale of $15 to $20+ for adults. If you are able, you can allow us to continue booking this amazing talent by paying $20 or more at the door. If that’s a stretch, stay at the regular $15 or volunteer and get in for free. Student admission is $5. We accept Apple/Google Pay and credit cards.
