A RIPA Evening

The Rita Island Progress Association’s (RIPA) Old Time Dance was a fantastic community evening for those who attended on Saturday, May 25.
It kicked off with dinner at 6:00pm cooked by the Jarvisfield P&C committee and staff, then at 6:30pm the FC Caledonia Highland Dancers showcased their talents on the dance floor as they proceeded through their many different dance routines.
At 7:00pm the band Kiradon started playing and they kept the crowd entertained all evening with adults and children joining in the dancing.
The laughter and chatter from the bar area as old and new friends caught up was great to see, as was the scramble by the children for chocolates as they were spread around the floor and the ‘ooohs’ and ‘aaahs’ from the adults and children as smoko was delivered to the tables with a magnificent spread of sandwiches and cakes along with tea and coffee.
The feedback from those present on the night has RIPA seriously thinking about making it a yearly event.
Thank you to all who contributed.
