Playford-to-the-Present 2008

Here are photos from our Playford-to-the-Present 2008 ball. At the time, it was called the Eighth Annual Southern California English Country Dance Ball, with the subtitle “Playford to the Present.” The ball took place at the Women’s Club of South Pasadena, California. It took place on Saturday, September 13, 2008, and our dance leader was Mary Devlin. Cuckoo’s Nest (Frank Hoppe, Kurt MacInnis, Ken Shaw, and Jeff Spero) provided the live music.
