January's Jive Junction & LHF Fundraiser

January's Jive Junction had a 50s Prom Theme and it was a lot of fun! Several of our members brought fun decorations and prizes to give away, and the 1950s theme was a fun diversion from our usual music - not something I'd want to do all the time, certainly, but fun for one month!

On Saturday, the Capitol City Swing troupe performed at a fundraiser for Living History Farms and danced to the Waukee Big Band. The Waukee Big Band is probably one of the finer big bands in the area - very smooth sound, nice for dancing!

And because I know you're dying to know, I ended up deciding to just go casual to Jive Junction and wore jeans and a Tshirt! And like I predicted, everyone who chose to dress up was perfectly happy wearing modern dresses that looked 5oish, or full skirts with blouses, etc. And I'm jealous of that in a way!!
