Greetings to All, Here are the dances and dancers who had all that fun at last Saturday's Flathead Valley Folkdancers gathering. We welcomed four new dancers from the Eureka area: Lonny, Tammy, Gary and Brio (with apologies for any mis-spellings). All four did a heck of a lot better than I ever did at my first session! Lonny & Tammy are working on a possible contra dance in Trego on Sept. 15. We will dance again this Saturday, June 16, 7-10 pm, at the Salvation Army Gym, 110 Bountiful Drive, a block south of Kalispell Regional Medical Center. The following weekend, June 23-24, we host the annual Flathead Folkdancers Camp and Stamp. (Actually, Russ and Missy do most of the hosting. Special thanks to them!) Plan to join with other folkdancers from around Montana for a weekend of camping and dancing in the Flathead Valley. Details follow at the end, along with a reminder of the Polka Festival in late July.

Missy CAMP AND STAMP - June 23 and 24 Traditional schedule from past years has included dancing at the old LaSalle School on Saturday afternoon, with a potluck dinner in late afternoon and a break for campers to set up at Russ Conn's place on Conn Road not far away. Evening dancing resumes from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Kalispell Salvation Army Gym (our usual venue). Campers and hardy dancers may then adjourn to Russ's place, sometimes for more dancing in the fabled Chicken House. Informal potluck breakfast and dancing at Russ's on Sunday morning. We should have final details next week, if there are any changes. Or contact Russ lilshop AT centurytel DOT net Directions to the old LaSalle School are as follows: From Kalispell take U.S. Hwy. 2 north to Glacier International. Airport. Across from the north end of the airport is a railroad siding where there is usually a row of boxcars. Look for Pioneer Rd. that crosses the railroad tracks and drive about 1/4 mi. east. You will see the school on the corner of the Olsen Machine Park. Enter via the gate just south of the school. Directions to the Salvation Army Gym, where we dance every Saturday 7-10 pm: From the intersection of Hwy 2 and Hwy 93 in Kalispell, go north toward Whitefish. After a mile and a half or so, at the top of the hill (golf course was on your right at the bottom of the hill), turn right at the stop light on to Conway Drive. A little ways down the road you'll see the Kalispell Regional Medical Center -Emergency Room entrance on your left. Turn right at the helipad (Claremont) and go by the Northwest Professional Building. Turn left onto Bountiful (it looks like part of the parking lot), and the Salavation Army is on the end. The address is 110 Bountiful Drive. The right hand doors will be unlocked. It's a large brick building. POLKA FEST July 20-22 The 3rd Annual Northwest Montana Polka Festival will be held in the Flathead Valley July 20-22. There will be music and dancing for all ages with an emphasis on polkas and waltzes; however many styles of music will be presented. Some of the crowd pleasers will include country, big band, standards, Latin, Hawaiian, and Cajun. Two bands will be featured at this new event - The Al Lindborg Band from Polson, Montana and the Little Bohemian Band from Albany, Oregon. The dances will be held at the Kalispell Eagles Lodge #234. It's a beautiful ballroom with a wooden dance floor and air conditioning. Food and beverages will be available. There will be lots of fun for everyone with guest appearances and daily door prizes.
