Thursday evenings the SaddleBrooke Square Dance Club holds dances at 7:00 p.m. in the MountainView Ballroom. Some Thursdays the club steps out to frequent fun venues in the area. So was the case on March 12. The Oracle Inn Saloon has some great food choices and great food to boot! The place allowed us to take over the room and dance; afterwards we glowed with refreshments from the bar and socialized. About 30 of us enjoyed squaring off to some toe tapping country western music with our wonderful caller, Larry Kraber. Local patrons enjoyed watching us have a good time.

Again, on March 19, 62 of us stepped out to the historic and beautiful guest ranch, El Rancho Robles in Oracle, where we danced for two hours before enjoying a catered homey delicious BBQ banquet. Not satisfied yet, we sang along to guitar music supplied by Dennis Reisinger and then gathered around a campfire to toast marshmallows which we layered over chocolate on graham crackers – S’mores!

Never one to ever let grass grow under our feet, we will be dancing outside under the stars at the Tennis Court Pavilion with a dinner of pizzas on March 26. April 9, the current class has its graduation celebration party in the MountainView Ballroom.

If square dancing for exercise and fun and if making new friends while enjoying a variety of places to experience appeals to you, then join us. Our new class starts October 11. Contact Bonnie Kraber at 825-2678 or [email protected] or the SaddleBrooke website www.saddlebrookesquares.com.
