Main. If you can get over for dancing and don't want to drive home the same night, we have a couple of extra beds at our house-- give us a call if you want to do that. Hope to see you sometime soon, Eva & Max --------- From Lita: "Potential January social gathering: "The Court Jester" and taco party. Since 4 people asked about borrowing the movie, there's interest in seeing it, but people are getting busy with the holidays. Let's postpone until January. You're certainly all welcome to Polson to watch this movie on my 12 inch screen, but if someone up there would like to host prior to a dance, it's a lot more likely people will actually show up. If you might be interested in hosting, or have an alternative suggestion, please let me (Lita) know and we'll see what might work when it's closer to that time. "The Court Jester": 1956 Danny Kaye movie, costarring Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone, Angela Lansbury, Cecil Parker and others. Setting is 12th century England. Comedy, 101 minutes in length. Sam and Ruth give it a thumbs up, and Lauren's kids also enjoyed it. Taco party: typically tortillas or taco shells and perhaps a meat sauce are provided, and everyone brings an ingredient to share (tomato, cheese, avocado, salsa, whatever). Simple and fun." Lita ---------- Wintergreen Contra Dance 2005 @ Bozeman, MT. Jan. 28-30. Brought to you by the Bozeman Folklore Society www.bozemanfolklore.org ---------- Steam and Stomp, last weekend of February 2005. *** Steam & Stomp 2005. Here's Bill: Hi Folkdancers - As those of you who were there know, Steam and Stomp was great fun, as always, but we missed those of you who couldn't make it. Just to help you plan ahead, Boulder Hot Springs has proposed February 26 and 27 for Steam and Stomp 2005. They have also mentioned some price increases for the next gathering (these apply to all groups). Meals (three) will cost $4 more or $35. Rooms will cost $50 plus tax for single occupancy and $37.50 plus tax each for double occupancy. I hope the dates and rates work for you. Keep on dancing. - Bill ---------- For other dance information from Bozeman and Butte check out our web site: http://www.montanafolkdance.org --------- Any suggestions, comments, corrections, you have are welcome!
