This year Tom Morrison will no longer be producing Swing into Spring and the
Bloomington Old Time Music and Dance Group (the same folks who bring you Sugar Hill)
has replaced it with this event.
After the scheduled bands and caller, many more musicians and callers are needed to keep
the music going well into the wee hours, so BRING YOUR MUSICAL
INSTRUMENTS. You don't have to be in "a band" to participate. Many
pick-up bands are formed while hanging out during the day or on the spur of the
moment late at night.
Everything is very laid-back and relaxed except for the high-energy
dancing on the WOOD dance floor.
Full kitchen facilities are available to prepare your contribution to the Saturday pot luck.
Bring a warm sleeping bag or plenty of blankets. The bunks have matresses,
but don't forget an air mattress or sleeping pad if you are tent camping or sleeping on the floor.
All this for the whole week-end for only $20.
Some Mad Robin Romp T-SHIRTS will be available at the door,
but to reserve a 100% cotton T-shirt for only $15.00, order one in your size on the
preregistration form.
LOCATION:
Galahue Girl scout camp is about 30 minutes northeast of
Bloomington off Hwy 42. Directions and map will be available soon.
We will be dancing in the main Lodge with the wonderfull wood floor.
Camp rules: No Pets, No Alcohol.
