It seems that we have gone through this before. On December 24, we received a call from the Apopka Fire Department informing us there was water pouring out our front door. It seems that someone entered the now empty offices on the second floor and in the process of stealing copper tubing, broke a water line. By the time it was discovered, there was five inches of standing water in our business with nearly $250,000 in damage. Adding to the problem of replacing equipment and getting the building dried out and ready to receive new equipment was the fact that this occurred during the holidays. Additionally before beginning the clean-up process the police had to complete their investigation and allow us to begin drying and repairs. I mention these thing because your Bow & Swing is probably late, and we have missed attending some of the dances we love to attend. I now make this statement. By the time you read this we will be 100% back in business. Not only satisfying the needs of our square and round dance friends, but all of our commercial customers as well.
This is February and this is the month to dance. The Cypress Garden Ball on the 5th and 6th feature plus and advanced dances with Gary Brown, Sam Dunn and Keith Stevens. Dance on February 12th and 13th the 31st annual Blue-Grey Square Dance with featured callers, Jack Lewis and Bill Chesnut. Then, on February 19 and 20 the 50th, make that the 50th annual Knothead Konvention. This year the Knothead Konvention features caller, Ken Rittuci with rounds by Larry Chatos. And for your dancing pleasure many of these conventions also feature the talents of many of your local callers and cuers.
During the year there will be many other dances and festivals I only hope that they are well attended. I particularly hope that the Florida State Square and Round Convention will be packed with dancers. Wouldn’t it be great if every club in Florida was represented by at least one square of dancers? Bring your caller, your cuer and your friends and lets all dance.
