From the desk of John and Jackie Rowe, General Chairman 2010 California State Square Dance Convention

Hello everyone,

Now that the California National Convention is over it is time to think about the California State Square Dance Convention in Fresno in April 2010.

For the first time we will be having 5 very special callers for a full program of Square Dancing. They are Bob Baier from Texas, Tim Crawford from Canada, Dan Nordbye from Arizona, Tony Oxendine from South Carolina and Charlie Robertson from Colorado. There will be a full round dance program with Bob & Sandy Nolan, Trenna & Bruce Chadd, and Peter & Chama Gomez in addition to other local cuers, handicapable program, fashion show, Exhibitions, Education Panels, sewing room, vendors, food court on site, and a relaxed dress code.

Special Events

Our grand prize drawing will be on Sunday, all cash prizes. Also on Sunday will be a Red Hat Ladies parade. We need all the dancers to support the state events, festivals and conventions or we may not have any.
