We want you to dial back the clock to Saturday night, August 1, 1935. A time when sweethearts were re-joined by their loved ones after WW1 and people were still talking about how nice it was to not have to wear masks anymore. This show is a “slice of life” concept. A “snap-shot” of what an evening would have been like at the Dance Pavilion, in the tiny little “trading town” of Southampton, ON, situated on the shores of Great Lake Huron, on Thursday, August 1, 1935, when the Guy Lombardo came to town. Can you imagine the excitement? The Great Depression was in mid-swing and there was talk on CKNX (Wingham) about the man with the funny little moustache over in Germany. For the most part, people were grateful to be alive and they celebrated the “Spirit of Life” by DANCING.
Patrons are invited to wear vintage costumes from the era! Dance Classes start at 7!
