1940s Style Hangar Dance – Fun for All Ages!
It’s the cat’s meow
Re-live the 1940s era by attending the Hangar Dance on Saturday, June 18th, from 7:00pm-10:30pm, featuring big band music performed by Ladies Must Swing, a jazz band consisting of 19 energetic dames. Doors open at 6:00p so come early and enjoy boxed lunches by Milio’s. Vintage wear is encouraged and there will be prizes for the best dressed couple and best dancers. The ladies will be performing 1940s tunes all night long – enjoy Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree, Seems Like Old Times, Leap Frog, In the Mood, and much more! *The historic B-17 airplane will also be parked outside the hangar for wonderful photo opportunities!
Benefits to the Community
Food and beverage proceeds, as well as a portion of the door sales, will benefit The Badger Honor Flight (badgerhonorflight.org), a local nonprofit that ensures WWII and terminally ill veterans from any war have the opportunity to see the memorials that have been erected in their honor. They will be serving local beer and dinner catered by Milio’s, so come hungry!
Bring a canned food item to the door and receive $1 off admission. The food will be donated to the Community Action Coalition (cacscw.org), a local organization committed to reducing poverty in Dane, Jefferson and Waukesha counties.
