Hawaiian S.H.I.R.T. Dance 2009

Tropical prints were the order of the day as people packed the Polish Hall and joined in the fun for the clubs Hawaiian S.H.I.R.T. dance.  Polka Connection and Larry Hallar's Two Star Final provided the phenominal entertainment.  The club discontinued its raffle ticket sales for our festival and replaced it with this dance which is  less work for the ticket sellers, and a moneymaker for the club.  Hot weather didn't put a damper on these dancers.
