Katie Belles

[DougB]

Anybody remember that large dance hall we used to have in Spanish Springs? Good entertainment and nice large dance floor with the high ceiling.

[DeanFL]

Gosh, sure brings back memories. Seems like yesterday. Sign of our age... sniff.

[Bogie Shooter]

Read in today's DS the dance floor is being saved, wonder why?

Going to cut it up and sell it on plaques as "Peices of the Dance Floor". Will have a certificate of authenticity and everything! Great addition to your family room wall! :024:

And as soon as they get home with that memento, they might want to log onto the "International Star Registry" and get a star named after them. :loco:

Does anyone know if "The Show" with Donna Moore and Dunning Shaw will be moved to a different location this summer?

"The Show" is being moved to McCall's.

You're kidding, right? That is a very small venue

[DonH57]

No He's serious. That's where they will be unless there is a change.

Then take it to Antiques Roadshow since this was a "historical landmark" :smiley:

There is adjacent seating on the ball returns and valet parking.

I am going to try to stay off this forum for a week. It's causin' me to say preachy stuff and be sassier than my folks would be likin' if they heard me.

Try to save The Villages you'all. I love it.

Gracie. Who can't seem to help being a smart aleck.

Oh, but why? Your "adjacent seating on the ball returns" was funny! Made me think of Katie balls. Oh wait... wrong thread.:024:

Her green light is out. I'm sad.

Love that! What a vision!

I so wish I was still in TV! With the "death" of Katie Belles as we knew it...I'd carve a styrofoam headstone inscribed to Katie and locate it/relocate it in various areas of the Villages until Community Watch found it and removed it! :)

First location - in the front garden bed under the eaves of the roof!

Other recommendations for placement?

You could dub it The Katie.

Does anyone know when the "new" Katie Bells will be completed? I still can't believe they destroyed the Crown Jewel of the villages. Is there any place to purchase pictures of Katie Belles, so I can show friends and family what used to be so cool about The Villages?

Where is my rosary?

Walking at the square the other night. First time I actually noticed that the exterior view of the building shows the 2nd floor quite a bit larger than the 1st floor, given there is no "Chicos" on the 2nd floor. If they also incorporate the open balconies in a smart way, there is a lot of SF to work with.

Pretty confident they will come up with a winner.

Telling the truth isn't preachy.

Katie Bells is not being destroyed. Mark Morse said in his talk that they are upgrading the place. New flooring, electrical and a new revamping of the kitchen. It's been 30 years since the place has been updated. Smart move by the Family. They are constantly making this place look better, be safer and add new and hip things.

I hope the new one is great, but they can never replicate the classic Two story old west dance hall look.

McCall's Tavern is what was said to a friend of mine, from the horses mouth.

It does seem like a small venue from someone with a big voice, but she is a great lady.

Stay tuned!!!
