Sweetheart Dance A Success

Nazdar,

The first Sweetheart Dance, sponsored by the Masaryktown Activities Club on Feb. 15, was a success. When folks don't want to go home and want to know when the next one is scheduled - you know it was successful. Approximately 120 folks enjoyed dancing, music for all ages by the deejays Vintage, who are Nick and Rusty. The can be reached at 352-592-9651 for Nick or 352-684-0695 for Rusty.
