Cottonwood Roadrunners Festival Oct. 9th & 10th 2009 had a great turn out.  Saturday they served a pot luck luncheon. The food was great and the company was even better. After lunch we had a fun casual dance.

This year they went with 2 different Callers- Friday evening was Stephen Cole nice turn out.  I Called for their Saturday afternoon fun casual dance. That evening they had a dance Mainstream and Plus with rounds. Annie Brownrigg cued the rounds and she did a great job.

When the dancers came in they were ready to dance and have fun.  There was a Grand March, and it was a thrill to see so many dancers involved,  setting the tone for the evening.

I have Called several times for Cottonwoodroad Runners and it has always been a pleasure, But this is the first time they invited me to Call at their Festival and that was an Honor and so much fun.

I was ready for a good fun evening and so were the dancers.  I used a lot of fun up beat music and the dancers response was with hoops and howlers all evening long.

We did for the first time try to start a summer program. It has been doing pretty good and have lots of good response from it. The dancing has been great.  I have enjoyed this as much as the dancers have.

Every Tuesday night at 7-9pm there is a plus dance at Rock Shadows. We have been having lots of fun. Everyone who come out is ready for a good fun time.  The dress is casual.

Wednesday nights we have a A-1 workshop dance. This has turned out to be pretty good, and the dancers are getting lots out of the workshop. The level each week is better and better. I truely have enjoyed this program.

We invite you to come out and join us.
