Hi Everyone, Thank you, Runway Cafe Hangar, for your efforts to
provide a fun venue for 5 months of with a wonderful staff and
great runway views! Now it’s time to move on! Your search committee
has found two places that would like to host us on Wednesday
nights. We are having a trial evening at both places. Each venue
will judge our group on attendance and the revenue we bring them.
You, our members, will be able to give feedback after spending time
at each venue. (watch your emails for this) So please try the food,
the dance floor, the adult beverages (I really don’t think I have
to add this last one!), and the overall feel for the place.
Wednesday, July 12th from 7:30 p.m. until…. Craft & Barrel
featuring DJ Billy Waldrep 25 Rushmore Drive Greenville, SC 29615

contest will be held on July 7th & 8th in Greer, S.C.. Reserve
a table! Come out and support your local competitors! If you’ve
never been to a competitive shag contest, this is your opportunity
to experience one! It will be a fun weekend! See the flyer in the

The Last Dances at the Hangar Carolina Shag Club begins its
‘Goodbye’ to The Runway Café
On June 10th The Hangar at Runway Café hosted the CSC Vinyl
Party for the last time. The party, with attendance made of mostly
Carolina Shag Club members was held in good weather and moderate
temperatures considering this time of year. Members visited before
music started as shown in the upper-left photo. Dancing and more
visiting is shown in the remaining two photos.
Photos by Skip Watkins
An often modest crowd, typical of the one shown in the photo
above contributed to The Hangar announcing that Carolina Shag Club
dancing would end after the last dance on June 28th. Some members
cited the lack of liquor drinks being unavailable and no air
conditioning as factors that kept them from visiting the business
more often. At the same time, neighboring club’s visitors
complimented the location citing that the dance floor was of
considerably better quality than the ‘sports bar’ location their
club was calling home.
In spite of the outcome, numerous club members expressed their
appreciation to Mike Bliss and The Runway Café for their efforts in
trying to make the location suitable for CSC dancers.

After the board meeting on June 22nd, a number of board members

Back Row, left-right: Wayne Brockman, Nancy Brockman, Mark

After having dinner with the children attending the camp, shag
club members gathered to start teaching steps. Starting off with
teaching a basic shag step (upper left) is CSC President, Dede Ward
(distant center) along with other Carolina Shag Club members. They
typically go through a basic step with a 6-count beat. Pictured
upper right is Brenda Ellington leading a group of children as they
practice the steps they’ve just seen.

Begin Search for Another Location to Dance

greeting each other and enjoying dinner while watching the
airplanes take off and land. During the evening the airport was
also ‘buzzed’ by a military style Lakota helicopter. Photos by Skip
Watkins
Later in the evening the crowd finished up with shag dancing and
the occasional line dance. Billy Waldrep, a CSC regular was the DJ
for the final night at The Hangar.

Comic Corner
A little boy was in a cemetery with his mother. “Mom,” the boy
asked, “Do they ever bury two people in the same grave?”
“Of course not, dear.” replied the mother, “Why would you think
that?”
“The tombstone back there said, ‘Here lies a lawyer and an
honest man’.”
There are three kinds of people: those who can count and
those who can’t.
What My Girlfriend Thought…First four Dates: 1. Nice shirt. 2.
Wow. A second nice shirt. 3. OK, first shirt again. 4. He has two
shirts. The closest a person ever comes to perfection is when
they fill out a job application form.
