Entertaining at Englein Haus in Halletsville

 Since returning to practice after the Christmas break, we have been practicing some routines to patriotic music. After practicing on Saturday night, my brother showed me this article about us dancing at the Flip Flop Festival and explaining that we would be dancing in Hallettsville at a program to honor veterans. None of us had seen it!
 This poster was in the window of Englein Haus, the Hallettsville Cultural Center. My nephews were a bit un-nerved to see their names on it! 
 After we danced to "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly", "Grand Old Flag", and "Yankee Doodle", the boys played "America the Beautiful"and a drum duet. Then we finished with "Star Spangled Special" and "The Great Defenders".

Spreading Christmas Cheer

 Stars and Stripes Cloggers entertained in several local nursing homes the week before Christmas. Top photo is Alec, Elsa, Martha, Valerie, Susan, Willie, and Lori. The three young cloggers in the front row are Therese, Hannah, and Gianna. Alec and Willie performed "Jingle Bells" on keyboard and xylophone. They performed "Little Drummer Boy" with Willie on snare drum and Alec doing vocals.
Not everyone could make it to all the performances. In this photo; Martha, Jackie, Elsa, Lori, Susan with Therese and Hannah in the front holding our new banner.
