THE DELORAINE Winter Masque Ball is back again, continuing the tradition of local balls and dances that were centrally important to small communities, providing meeting places for neighbours, family, new friends and new love.
Waltzes, foxtrots and folk dances brought dancers together in mutual respect, allowed young folk to get to know each other, kept older folk active, and forged a strong sense of community in regional towns.
The new millennium brings a blending of old and new.
This year’s theme is ‘Space Western’ so break out the spacesuits, ball gowns and bling and dance the night away!
Learn with us, to waltz and ‘Strip the Willow’ to live local band ‘KentankRus’.
Win a prize for best supper dish or best mask. Be chosen Belle or Beau of the Ball.
The ball will be at the Western Tiers Community Club from 7pm, Saturday 27 July.
For more information or to volunteer to help on the night, call Megan on 6302 3372.
Address: Western Tiers Community Club, 33A Parsonage St, Deloraine.
