Last October, there was a Re-enactment of the WWII-era Louisiana Maneuvers at the local airport. If you've never heard of them, take a moment to click on the link and read about them. They were quite an undertaking!
The group that put the Re-enactment together decided to host another historically-themed event, similar in nature. There was a "Hangar Dance" held in the WWII-era hangar at the local airport on Friday night. The band was well-versed in 1940s music. Folks who had attended the dance last October returned in full costume for this year's event. A short session before the dance provided a little instruction on "swing" dancing. An era-specific airplane and motorcycle provided some prime photo opportunities. With all of this said, I provide the photos taken at the Hangar Dance.

| Camera speed not fast enough to capture the raging speed of these dancers! Lovin' the "zoot suit" he's wearing. |
So... fun was had by everyone there. Hard to not enjoy good music and fun folks!
Next time you hear about a local event in a little town, consider going to see what it's all about. You never know what you might end up seeing... and doing!
Until next post...
