| Sunshine and a little breeze |
It was a gorgeous day. We had sunshine and a little breeze which made it very nice.
We said good-bye to Illinois and hello to Wisconsin. We started our adventure driving a two lane road out of the Chain O Lakes State Park. Then we took the interstate because we wanted to stop by a Wisconsin Visitor Center. Our destination was West Bend, Wisconsin, it was only about 90 miles but we did have to travel through Milwaukee. Actually ended up being a pretty easy drive.
For the last five years Noah Siegmann has put together a Labor Day weekend square dancing event called WIPAC at the Washington County Fairgrounds in West Bend. It has four halls of dancing that consist of Plus- A2- C1- DBD Plus and Round Dancing.

We arrived at the fairgrounds at 10:30. We checked in at the office and setup the Minnie for the weekend. Washington County Fairgrounds is a great facility and very well kept up. The RV park is walking distance to the dancing. There are a couple of ponds with a bridge that goes between them, some 4H buildings, a cute slide and drinking fountain. We spent the afternoon reading.

The evening dance started at 7:00 and was over at 10:30. We were excited to find a number of couples that we dance with in the Rio Grande Valley and a couple from the Dallas area that we dance with a few times each year. We started out with a tough DBD Plus dance with Jerry Story and Jerry Jestin for an hour. Jerry Story is out of Fairfield Iowa and we have danced with him many times. Jerry Jestin is out of Alberta Canada, this is the first time we have danced to him. He did a great job. There were six squares for DBD. The last two hours we danced A2 to Jerry Story, Jerry Jestin and Daryl Lipscomb. We had anywhere from four to six squares. I sat out an A tip so I could take pictures. Larry danced with another dancer so her husband could rest. We had a great evening of dancing.
