Tweed Stampede Rodeo Rocks!!!!

I was really thinking that we didn't pick a good year to start this thing as so many dancers are out of town or away at weddings.... but I was so wrong.....

We only had 3 squares show up, but what a day we had and everyone was happy and visiting and so welcomed.

Those who made a day of it and enjoyed the rodeo as well are already making plans for next year. The crew at Trudeau Park put on a great event and the Dodge Rodeo crew really gave us a show. It was awesome!

I was enjoying the rodeo so much, I didn't want to leave to go and set up for the dance. If any of our readers our rodeo fans, you got to book your spot for camping next year and take it all in....... they are coming back!

I am so grateful to those dancers who took the time to come out and join us. The air conditioning was on but the door was open so that other people would come in, it wasn't as cool as some of us would have liked it, but it was cooler than outside. The dance was 4 hours long and some people brought lunches and drinks and made a picnic out of it. Others found food vendors on the grounds and the bar was set up to sell pop and water.

Wayne did a great job putting us through our moves, even mixing it up doing some pretty strange things. Our guys and gals did a wonderful job of grabbing those spectators that came it to have a look and getting them on the floor. We even had a husband come in looking for his wife and seemed truly amazed to find her out on the floor dancing like a pro.

During breaks many of us would go out to the balcony overlooking Stoco lake and enjoy the music from the live stage down below, we had a perfect view. Wayne had to come out and investigate when he saw people were dancing on the balcony, but not square dancing...... we couldn't have asked for a better day.

The Trudeau family has offered us the room again for next year.... we need to hear from you. Do we do this again next year and make it into a summer dance? If you were there give me some input... I am looking for ideas, Doug and I had a blast and it was great. Even Marko wants to come back next year and spend the weekend with us just to go to the rodeo.... Talk to me people..... need to hear everyone's ideas.
