Country Jamboree Set For September 21

The Rocking Roosters’ second annual Newtown Country Jamboree will be held at Edmond Town Hall, lower level, on Friday, September 21, from 6:30 to 10:30 pm.

From 6:30 to 7 pm, the Frontier Jammers Band and guest musicians will jam. At 7 pm Bob Paris will lead a demonstration square dance for which no experience is necessary. It will be followed by several types of dancing: fox trot, waltz, two-step, polka, and others. Next, Dave Akin, a well-known barn dance caller, will give a demonstration dance in which everyone can join.

At 8 pm Ray Onedi will sing, backed by the Frontier Jammers. This will be followed by a club level demonstration square dance and an introduction to western style square dancing by Allan Brozek.

Richard Shokite called the first part of a barn dance in Polish last year, and he will be back to give another demonstration.

About 9 pm, Allen Brozek will call a contras dance, a type of dance that was done by the pioneers. The evening will be rounded out by square dancing and barn dancing.

Complementary refreshments will be served. A $5 donation is requested. Show up or for more information call 264-6855 or 426-5817.
