Square Dancing is
Alive and Well at the Fair
Great Darke County Fair…
By Elaine Bailey
“… get on your dancin' shoes… There's gonna be a shindig in the
barn.” This shindig was hosted by the Darke County Swinging 8’s.
Folks learned how to swing, promenade, allemande, dosado, and star
right, as directed by caller Mark Libert, active member of the Darke
County Swinging 8’s.
The square dancing group took a recess this summer from their monthly
dances at a local church recreational center located on the corner of
Devor and Washington and dosadoed to the Swine Barn.
The annual event was relocated to the Swine Barn, when the Ohio
Building was enclosed for the relocated Spiritual Center. Many
members were pleased with the new venue for it provided a large dance
area, ample light, and good acoustics.
Over two dozen fair-going couples joined members in the fun. The
dancers learned the calls well and had a great evening.
