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.

I was really looking forward to coming up there again. Last year was the Spring Fling and this year the Buffalo Wallow. I flew up on a Thur. and the Festival started on Fri. We had workshops in the day and dances in the evening, well by the clock it was evening but by the sun it was always light. Sure it would get dusk but that is the darkest it would get.
We had fun and some of the dancers were at every workshop and dance didn't miss a thing. To see so many having so much fun. Do have a video of them dancing to Soul Man and they were having a great time with it check it out when you can. www.youtube.com There was lots of good dancing and big smiles and lots of laughing.
Got to do lots of fun things in the pattern calls. There were lots of surprise looks on some of the faces, which was great.
After the dances in the evenings there was a big campfire. One of the favorite foods was campfire pies. They were great and they were filled with different things.
Many...
