May 3 We hosted a community dance at the Enumclaw OHOP Grange.  It was well attended and folks had a great time.  Our own caller, Mark Gaponoff, did an excellent job, and it sounds like they’d like to do this again.  So that’s a good feedback!

May 23 Katie hosted a jam in the Jam Tent at the Folklife Festival, Seattle Center. Folk Life has been running for 54 years now.  Vivian and Phil Williams were co-founders when this festival started in 1971.  Here is 2017 festival story about them.
