Playford-to-the-Present 2006

Here are photos from our Playford-to-the-Present 2006 ball. At the time, it was called the Southern California Ball and it had the theme Playford’s Playford (our first six balls all had a theme). This was the last of our themed balls, before the official name Playford-to-the-Present took over!

The ball took place on Saturday, October 21, 2006, at Bethany Lutheran Church in Long Beach, California. Our dance leader was Giovanni De Amici, and Interfolk Goes Baroque (Kriss Larson, Bonnie Insull, Mary Ann Sereth, and Carter Dewberry) provided the live music.
