Fun Dancing With John Wargowsky

I had heard about the Martinsburg Square Dance over the years and always wanted to attend. I finally worked it into my schedule on January 23. It is held every other Saturday evening, 8-11 pm at the Martinsburg Community Hall in Knox County about ¼ mile west of Martinsburg on US Rte 62.

I was given a friendly greeting by two ladies as I entered the Community Hall. The admission fe...

I recently reviewed the dances I had the opportunity to lead in 2009. As I did this, it became obvious to me that every dance was part of a celebration or special occasion. It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of these events and one can only be grateful for sharing these special times with many people. Here is a review of these events.

The characteristics of homeshool group events include good participation, politeness, wili...

Square Dance at Malabar Farm - May 2

As I drove to Malabar Farm I was reminded of God's splendor through admiring His natural creation exemplified in the beauty of the rolling hills, cattle grazing on fresh green grass and sunshine.
