Saturday 2-18 Dancing at Appelts Hill

We had a super day of A square dancing with friends to Tim Ploch's calling at Appelt's Hill. Today we attended three sessions. We started out the day with an A2 dance at 10:00 to 12:00, There were five squares but a few more people arrived and we ended up having six squares plus an extra couple. Our friends Bonnie and Paul from Houston were there. We saw them in Paris but didn't get the chance to talk to them. Today we danced with them a couple of times and visited with them. It was a super dance. We were suppose to have two callers (Tim Ploch and Bob Bair) for the weekend but Bob was sick and in the hospital. Tim is doing a great job of calling for both of them. At times he pretended to be Bob and would say stuff Bob would say. 

The second session was a workshop for an hour and a half. Tim went through some moves people might have troubles with. Tim is a good caller, he likes to get you into positions you're not use to be in. It was challenging and fun.

The third session was an A dance at 8:30. Before the evening dance Tim did a C1 tip, they had two squares. During the A dance there were six squares plus two couples. The dancing was terrific,  we had a wonderful day. After the dance they had an after party. We didn't stay too long considering it was past 10:30 and we were tired. There is one more session tomorrow morning.

Schulenburg RV Park is 10 miles from Appelt's Hill Hall so after each session we went back to the Minnie to have something to eat, take care of Flo and rest to get ready for the next session. By the end of the day we were exhausted but we're having an awesome time.
