Dance to the sounds of a 1940s style big band this Labor Day weekend and reminisce about a bygone era. The HangarHotel and Conference Center in Fredericksburg, Texas will host a swinging USO Style Hangar Dance on Saturday September 3, 2011. A percentage of the event proceeds will be donated to USO Ft. Hood, which delivers programs and services to more than 40,000 service members and their families.
A little rusty on your dance skills? Don't fret; you'll be swinging in no time. Show up early for swing dance lessons from 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. before local talent, Bill Smallwood and the Lonestar Swing Orchestra takes the stage at 8:00 p.m. They'll take you back to the 1940s with their 18 piece big band, playing until 11:00 p.m. The Pacific Showroom’s Tiki Bar will be staffed and available for patrons to quench their thirst after all that dancing. Concession items will be served from the Airport Diner.
