Heart Dance fund raiser 2022
Members and visitors dressed in red and black for our annual Heart Dance fund raiser on the 6th of May.
Sasha and her children were visiting from Victoria and the other surprise of the night was Carla arriving with her new baby. There was no shortage of babysitters, giving her a chance to dance without carrying him.
The night started with a six couple rectangle to suit all dance levels and alternated with one square of Plus dancing throughout the evening.
Supper included some heart shaped chocolates with silver wrappers and some very cute (and delicious) little cupcakes. After supper, Matt asked different kids to draw each of the raffles and the lucky door prize, with a Mother's Day theme.
Alan Wright was presented with our life member award. Matt spoke about some of Alan's long history with Cane Country Squares and the beginning of square dancing in Queensland with Alan's family.
Alan told us of the only time a square dance event was held at Parliament House, on the 25th of April 1994. Alan, with a group from Bundaberg all got to be included in the 1000 square dancers participating.
These videos are small sections from recordings of the 1994 event in Canberra.

Our next theme night is on this Friday the 13th - Lucky or unlucky? Black Cat theme.
