Carmen Does The Hanger Dance

November 15, 2014

It is Hanger Dance time!!!!! When I was asked to make an appearance I had not idea what a Hanger Dance was. I thought maybe it was like the Tarantella only you dance around hangers. It was not until I arrived did it begin to make sense. It was a huge gala held, you ready for this, inside an airplane hanger. Have you ever been inside a hanger? They are huge!!! Well at least to me they are.  
This gala was a fundraiser for the Sundown Patrol  and what a service they provide. They actually patrol the water ways of Lee County from the air. What a great service that is! Venice It. could such a club what with all those canals.My friends Marsha and Earl put this gala on and did a great job too!!!

So this gala reminded me of weddings back home in my village. Long tables all decorated. An orchestra for dancing. Buffet food, cake, beer, wine....the only thing missing were the wedding gifts. But they did have gifts of sorts. They had what they called a silent auction where people could win some grand prizes.

They had plenty of entertainment. So who are these gals called the Florida Calendar Girls? They must be important because they were having their picture taken with this rather handsome pilot. They took so many that by the time they were done and he left. So alas I was unable to have a photo op with him. Now these gals did perform some dancing seem like they are great fun. Shhh I did hear some people say these gals are all over the age of 50!
