Dancing is the Antidote to Cold
That was the Mardi Gras line I used to encourage people to move away from the heaters in the Pine Tavern Pavilion on what we thought was one of the coldest (and most fun) nights of the year. (Last night was colder).
Eventually everyone warmed up and the dance floor filled for a community sharing of dancing, a language that when used can make everyone a friend.
It was a guessing game of who’s who with so many faces hidden by masks being flashed by stage light show colors.
The musical line-up was stellar.
The yearly Costume Ball draws people from all around the region and benefits the Blue Mountain School.
Look for a story and a spread of colorful photos in this week’s Floyd Press.
In the meantime enjoy these few teaser photos and video clips.
Proof that we all got up dancing.
Maybe you’ll spot yourself there.

I could have used some of that dancing last night, the crowd looked ‘hot’. Even this morning in bright sunshine and blue sky’s the temp is -25C (-13F) which is to be our high for the day. If memory serves me, your a Bruce Cockburn fan, so the cold and your post reminded me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mwc43Fd9DY , it is one of favorites of his.

Not surprising at all. The topic is hot. I haven’t been able to find them online, but feel doubtful that they will shed any new light.
