Recap of the Kansas Sate Dance::

This past weekend about 45 HTS members attended the 60th Kansas State Convention in Salina.  Doug and Don Sprosty, the featured callers from Iowa challenged us with their great calling and singing while round dancers enjoyed Natalie Sprosky who is the wife of Don Sprosty.  Cloggin', Round Dancing, Line Dancing, Contra and High Energy dancing also was a part of the fun.

We also danced to several Kansas Callers including locals Larry Crady, Bill Roles, Dana Schirmer, Chris Wildhagen, Sam Hunsaker, Virginia Yerta and our member callers Diane Wagner, Lynn Nelson and Wade Morrow, and of course our own Vic Perry who called to his faithful followers dressed in our black, red and yellow attire.  Vernon and Judy represented HTS with their expertise in rounds and line dancing in the various halls.

The traditional "after the dance" ice cream gathering was well attended both nights with several guests from other clubs joining us.  Thanks to Mary Kay who brought her delicious fudge and some wonderful cookies to share with the group.  We all surprised Tonya & Dave Ketchum who celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary on Saturday with anniversary cake, thank you Betty & Frank for bringing the yummy beautifully decorated cake.
