General here…
Well - the CHFI Oldies Dance is coming up on May 30 - and by the number of emails I’m getting, it seems there is some confusion with our dances at the Old Mill - and, understandably, you have some questions:
What do we wear?
Is there food?
When does it start and end?
So, here you go - the CHFI Oldies Dance at The Sheraton - in a nutshell.
WHAT TO WEAR
Anything goes - most people dress casually - jeans - there are a lot of people that “dress up” 50s, 60s, 70s style - hippies/disco/greasers, etc….
But, wear comfortable shoes - we dance, dance, dance all night long.
We do have a best costume contest, but it isn’t necessary to wear something of the era.
FOOD
There is food - but it’s simply fast food - pizza slices, hamburgers, hotdogs, ice cream - you do have to pay, but it’s relatively cheap – like a buck or two. And all the money goes to The Children’s Wish Foundation.
DRINKS
There is a cash bar - but only beer and wine - no spirits - and usually the beer is of one sponsor.
MUSIC
There is a deejay - that would be me - as well as a live band.
The music is mostly of the 60s and 70s - with some 50s and 80s thrown in for good measure.
Doors open at 6pm and we get started shortly after that. The dance goes till midnight.
All the CHFI personalities are there - there are special Saturday Night Oldies T-shirts for sale - again, all proceeds go to The Children’s Wish Foundation - and there are also photo areas with special backdrops -just so you can document all the fun.
As Vinnie Barbarino would say…
“You gonna love it, Mr Kotter - you gonna die…”
