This Saturday, September 28 will be the bi-annual barn dance at the Kalyx Center near Monticello. The band and caller are from St. Louis with Cambia providing the music and Lo Peckman calling. There will be a potluck dinner at 5. The dance will start at 7:30 with a short intro to contra dancing at 7:00.

The Kalyx Center is near Allerton Park in the Monticello area. The address is 436 E 1300 North Rd, Monticello. The entrance is on the north side of the road and can be a bit hard to spot. If you put the address into Google maps it locates a place on the south side of the road. It is very near by, but if you go there you will be at the wrong place. You'll need to go back a little ways and go to the north side of the road.

Urbana Country Dancers,

Sad to report that Tom Anderson, beloved long-time dancer, caller, host, and friend, died Sep 6, 2024.
He and Kathy hosted many wonderful barn dances at their place in northeast Urbana.
He was also active with Central Illinois English Country Dancers.

"Visitation will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 4 at First Mennonite Church, 902 W. Springfield, Urbana.
Memorial services will be at 10:30 a.m. Oct. 5 at the church."

May his memory be a blessing,
Dan

Fun fact: My first Contra Dance was 25 years ago today at Jenny Barrett's birthday party at the Lake of the Woods Elks Lake Pavilion. Jonathan Sivier called to the Hyperdogs(?), which included Tom and Matt Turino.

Our next contra dance will be this coming Friday, September 20 at the Channing-Murray Foundation 1209 W. Oregon in Urbana. The band will be our own Miriam Larson and Matt Turino (2/3 of the Mean Lids). Gail Hintze from Chillicothe will be calling.

As usual there will be a short introduction to contra dance at 7:30 and the dance will start at 8. Bring your friends to join in the fun and snacks to share at the break.

There will be some great music and fun dances so I hope everyone will plan to attend.

The Central Illinois English Country Dancers will be holding a dance this Sunday, September 15 at the Mansfield United Methodist Church, 200 East Illinois St. in Mansfield, west of C-U on I-74. We'll be dancing from 2 to 5 p.m. We will be featuring a number of basic dances, so this would be a great time for anyone who would like to give ECD a try. Come and join us for an Introduction to English Country Dance.

Susan Burt is sponsoring the dance in honor of her birthday, so admission is free!

If you are interested in attending and would like to get a ride or carpool with someone, let me know.

Dear Dan,

I am registered for the Sugar Hill Dance Weekend August 23-25. I plan to drive my SUV. I have room for up to 3 riders. Can you help me put out my contact information (email) for people wanting to carpool?

I plan to leave CU in time to do the potluck at 6 pm. So try to leave by 2 pm on Friday. Will return on Sunday afternoon. Camp closes at noon. I usually volunteer to help with camp cleanup.
