4th of July weekend has also traditionally been a time for country-western
competitions/workshops/dances in the Chicago area and in Dayton, Ohio (the
Firecracker Festival). Several of the club "old-timers" used to go to
these. If you're interested, ask around to see if they have fliers on
these events. Good places to pick up some new west coast swing moves, if
you have a partner to practice them with so you don't forget 'em!
Happy dancing!
