The Turlock Steppin Pards danced the night away at their Hootenanny on Friday. The evening started out with rounds and progressed into squares. Dancers each brought a can of food for the “hobo stew,” a meal made of whatever vegetables and canned goods the dancer brought, and eaten out of a can.
The Steppin Pards hold classes from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. every Wednesday at the American Legion Hall. Open sign-ups start the second week in September, and classes go all year long. Classes held in September will be free, after that they are $4 per person per week. Steppin Pards President Keith Gresham said that all ages are welcome to join. To sign up for classes, call Keith at 667-7292.
