Halloween Dance Party - November 1st

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Who says Halloween is just for kids? You are invited to come and have a good time dancing with us on November 1st. Costumes are encouraged but not required. You might want to dress up in an entire costume or you might think about just a tip of your hat to Halloween with a few of these ideas:a hat and scarf; an eye patch; a wig; extra make-up or jewelry; a Halloween sweater or other piece of clothing; anything else you can think of! As always, we will have great music and a pleasant atmosphere for dancing. Some snacks and soft drinks will be provided. You may bring snacks to share and alcoholic beverages if you wish. 7:30 - 10:30  $10 per person.
