Back from Oconomowoc, see you Friday in Downers Grove

Updated 9/19/2017 - removed broken photobucket links, replaced with youtube playlist.
We're back from Oconomowoc, where a good time was had by all. We picked up several nice dances, and will be reviewing them this Friday & in the coming weeks. I took some video clips, and have uploaded them to my free photobucket.com account - I'm going to try to link them here, we'll see how it goes (haven't tried doing video on the blog before).

Saturday morning, Dit, Edie & Jay taught 2 dances apiece (see list in photo), and in the afternoon they each taught one "pattern"-type dance (Dit & Edie taught Scottish set dances, "Robertson's Rant" and "Dundee Whaler", and Jay taught an Alsatian couple mixer "La Salamandre".

Here goes with the video - note that I only take short clips, mostly from behind the line, just for reminders of the pattern (simpler and more accurate than taking notes) - these aren't videos of the teaching or the whole dance start-to-finish:

Chicago Celtic Festival Sept. 15-16 2007

Yet another event you might be interested in if you're not headed up to Oconomowoc camp the weekend of Sept. 14-16 (remember, no dancing in Downers Grove Fri. 9/14!): the Chicago Celtic Fest

Susan in the Trib

Susan was quoted in this Aug. 30 story in the Chicago Tribune:

Peck Farm Park: This charming 395-acre preserve was created in 1998 from the estate of George and Erdene Peck. In addition to outdoor gardens, nature trails and more, Peck Farm features a butterfly exhibit that houses some 300 butterflies during the summer months. Whether you want to visit for a day or volunteer for the summer, the butterfly house is a breathtaking break from blacktop. Susan Jensen, butterfly house coordinator, calls it "a wondrous place to hang out." The best time to come is between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and be sure to look for the brilliant blue back of the Pipevine Swallowtail, Jensen's favorite.
