Retiring "old" Old Glory 2021
The flag that had been flying at KSDA for several years had served well, but needed a respectful farewell from duty. The Memorial Day weekend square dance (the first "major " dance since the pandemic shut down square dancing) was a very appropriate time to perform the ceremony.

Nice to see an "active" KSDA camp facility again!
How 'bout THEM "gams"?
I f only there's been a contest for the best knees in the hall. (These would NOT have won!)
And it was "just" a WORK SHOP !!!
Wow! 6 squares for an afternoon workshop. Covid can KNOCK us down, but can't KEEP us down!
This was a 10AM Workshop !
Not a bad turnout for the first early morning workshop. Everyone "passed" on the 6am Hot Yoga session. :-)
A "pair" to draw to.
