SUMMARY:75th Annual National Square Dance Convention

This recognition wasn’t just a nod to tradition; it was a celebration of how square dance fosters community bonding across Texas. It is also considered a national dance of the US. Friday\, June 26 is designated as Celebrate USA250 Day. An introduction to square dancing will be open to the public during the day and an evening program will feature patriotic music and recognition of our military. Attendees will wear red\, white and blue square dance attire. We are looking into the possibility of having a fireworks display that night.We are going to reach out to the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution Chapters; area schools and colleges; and other organizations to promote this opportunity to participate in this celebration! \nThis event will cost $20 for one day; $80 for the full convention.
