 Can you identify all the costumes at the Star Righters Square Dance Club Halloween Dance? Good times!
  It was an honor to share the stage with these talented callers at the CALLERLAB fundraising dance in Texas this weekend! These guys do great work for our organization and the square dance activity! #CALLERLAB 
21 squares of people got together to celebrate the amazing calling career of Wade Driver today at the Swingtime Center Square Dance Hall in Fort Worth, TX. I attended a caller school 11 years ago with Ken Ritucci & Wade Driver. If you want to take a trip down memory lane, you can read more about that trip in my blog post from 2012: Jubilee Callers School. In 2021, I was incredibly honored to join the calling staff on Rhythm Records that Wade owns and produces. It has been my privilege to work with Wade on 2 different singing calls on Rhythm. Wade is retiring from active calling to focus more on his music production. It was so special to see so many people get together to celebrate his amazing calling career! I can't imagine a better way to celebrate such an incredible person! Congratulations, Wade!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from the friendly dancers at Frontier Squares! This was my first time calling in the Cincinnati area. We had a great crowd and an absolute blast! Thanks to Marianne for sharing the video.
Today was a special day here in Indiana! We had a great turnout and a fantastic time at the fundraising dance for the Raleighs. So proud of how the square dance family comes together to help out. All proceeds collected went to the Raleigh family to help support Kati during her battle with stage 4 cancer.  These dance leaders all volunteered their time and put on a fantastic afternoon of dancing!
It was great to see so many friends at the Star Righters Christmas Dance! I absolutely love Christmas (and consequently, I love Christmas music too)! I even convinced Andrew to sing a few with me. My sweet friend Grace even joined in on the Christmas carols! Thanks to everyone who came out!
We had a ROARING good time at the Scatter 8’s New Year’s Eve square dance. It's always a good time calling for the Scatter 8's!
My home club celebrated our 60th Anniversary! What a special night! Thanks so much to everyone who came out to celebrate. Check out the event album on the Star Righters Facebook Page for more photos from the night. A huge shout-out to the dance leaders who shared their talents to help me with the dance: Chuck Witt, Bobby Poyner, Andrew Berger, Pat Bryant, Wanda Martin & Eddy Martin. Regardless of where I travel, Star Righters Square Dance Club will always be home for me. Here’s to the next 60 years!
We had a great time calling at Scatter 8's in Bluffton, IN for their New Year's Eve Dance. The night was filled with great food, dancing, games, and people! Thanks to Scatter 8's for having us and to all the dancers who made the night so much fun!
 Happy New Year!
