On the evening of Saturday the 24th of May, the Jarvisfield State School Hall became a hive of groove and activity as the Rita Island Progress Association (RIPA) held a classic Old Time Dance extravaganza.
Complete with the musical talents of the band Kiradon and skilled highland dance performances by the FC Caledonia, the night was a splendid success overflowing with great food, great drinks, and great (dance) moves!
“It was a fantastic night full of good food, drinks, dancing and laughter for all ages, young and old, with many couples dancing the night away until the band packed up,” shared Shantelle Ehmann, Secretary of the RIPA.
Plenty of local businesses donated many raffle prizes and were warmly thanked for their support and generosity by the RIPA at the event with organisers also commending the Jarvisfield State School’s P&C committee for providing the venue and BBQ dinner.
“Lastly, we’d like to thank RIPA’s executive committee, our members and their families who made this night possible, organising the event and donating their time for the enjoyment of our community,” added Shantelle.
The RIPA thanks everyone who attended and enjoyed the event and hopes to see everyone bust a move once again at 2026’s dance!
