From Hunter Keller

Pre-registering for square dance weekends isn’t just helpful, it’s essential to keeping them going. These events depend on early commitments so organizers can plan with confidence, book callers, secure venues, and make sure everything comes together the way it should. Without a strong number of preregistrations, every decision becomes a financial and logistical risk.

When preregistration numbers are low or nonexistent, it creates real uncertainty. Organizers may have to scale back or even cancel because they simply can’t justify the expense without knowing dancers are committed to attending. If this happens repeatedly, we’ll start to see fewer weekends offered, and eventually, they could disappear altogether.

These weekends don’t happen by accident. They take time, effort, and a great deal of dedication from organizers, all supported by the dancing community. Your preregistration is more than just reserving a spot, it is a show of support. It lets organizers, callers, and fellow dancers know that these events matter and are worth continuing.

If we want to keep enjoying the fellowship, the music, and the tradition of dancing together, it starts with one simple step: preregister early. Even if you think there is only a chance you might attend, consider sending in your registration. Most weekends offer full refunds if plans change, so there is little risk to you, but a great deal of reassurance for those putting the event together.

At the end of the day, preregistering shows that you want these weekends to happen and that organizers can count on your support. Just my two cents.

Sad to let you know if you have not yet heard the Memorial Weekend dance for 2020 has become another victim of the Corona Virus outbreak. Refunds are being sent to all who have already registered. Please help us in looking foward to 2021. I will post more on that dance in the next 24 hours.

We have an amazing weekend coming up. Just got back from Hawaii where Buddy Weaver was calling. He and Mike Hogan will simply be one of the best pairings of callers that the Memorial Weekend have had so far. If you have not yet signed up for the dance what is stopping you?
