We enjoyed visiting the friendly members of that club and listening to the charming calls of Club Caller Howard Williamson. Oh by the way, it was Pie Night. Before the dance we ate at a cozy restaurant named Kelly's for a superb country dinner at a very reasonable price. And yes, the video is not an illusion. There was 1+ square at this event.
