Dancers from BC, AB, SK and the USA enjoyed a wonderful Labor Day weekend at the 2011 Alberta Jamboree in Fort Saskatchewan, AB. Many Yuma dancers attended this event.
Murray Few, Jerry Pierce and Gary Winter who were the five local callers from Edmonton were joined by callers Barry Sjolin from Penticton, BC and Jerry Jestin from Yuma, AZ. These five great callers along with cuer couple Ron and Donna Baba from Medicine Hat, AB kept everyone dancing from Friday night until noon on Monday.
This event included workshops for MS, PL, A1-A2 and Rounds as well as an After Party on Saturday night. Free shuttle service was provided from the RV camping site where many friendships were renewed and new ones made. This camping area was a busy and happy spot the whole weekend and added to the enjoyment of nearly 300 dancers who attended the Jamboree.
Gene and Patt Jones attended this event although they missed getting into the group picture below as did a number of other Yuma dancers.
The Alberta Jamboree Dance Society will be hosting their next Jamboree in Red Deer, Alberta on the September long weekend in 2013. Mark your calendars!
