The dance will help raise funds for the Blencoe Christmas Lunch, the favourite non-dancing event of local instructor Ruth Blencoe, also a former Kindale Developmental Association employee, who was killed in a car accident in February.
The Christmas Lunch was a catered feast held annually at the Vernon Recreation Complex. Blencoe’s widower, George, said his wife loved seeing the joy that the celebration brought to a segment of the population in the community often forgotten at Christmas.
George hopes to bring the event back as the Blencoe Christmas Lunch.
