The Central Illinois English Country Dancers will be holding their ninth
annual Playford Ball on Saturday, June 5, 2004. The dance will be held
at the Channing-Murray Foundation, 1209 W. Oregon, Urbana, IL, on the campus
of the University of Illinois. There will be a warm up session from 7:00 to
8:00, followed by the Ball from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. Fans and finery are
encouraged and we will be holding a costume contest to choose a King and Queen
of the Ball. There will be a $7.00 suggested donation to help cover the cost
of the Ball. We ask that dancers wear soft soled shoes to help protect the
dance floor and avoid using excessive amounts of perfume for the benefit of
others who may experience allergic reactions. All dances will be taught and
all lovers of English Country dance and music are welcome.
