| Covington - Sunday October 19th 2008 |
| Finland
Calling came calling at Covington this past
Sunday when Carl Pellonpaa hosted a Suomi Kutsuu
Dance sponsored by the Covington, parks
and recreation department. Finlanders and
their friends came to dance all afternoon to the
music of the Polka Drifters a really great band!
The Polka Drifters played a wide variety of
music including Country, swing waltzes and
of course Polkas! Ron Masters does a great
job as the band's singer. Often band
singers just get the job done, but Ron does a
great job as does the rest of band. |
| There was an abundance of awesome
refreshments and there was also a bake sale to
tempt you off your diet. |
