Third time’s a(nother) charm

We had a fine time tonight with the Bassett Street Hounds at our third danceout of the year. We danced at Onondaga Lake Park, for a longer stand than I was expecting — but we had an audience, so we kept going. Wild Blue did five of the four dances in our repertoire (one of them twice…) — not to mention  Balance the Straw, which isn’t in our repertoire, but we did it anyway. (In principle that was a mass dance, though it turned out the Hounds who danced in were also on Wild Blue.) We even got a few audience members to do “Shepherd’s Hey” with us.

Afterward we went to the Retreat for food and drink (I think a third of us had appetizers, a third had dessert, and a third just had beer) and conversation, and a rendition of “Happy Birthday” for Fred and Rick.

A grand evening. Thanks to all!
