Barn Dance Highlights Rotary Ladies Night Event
Funamaking led a packed Van Schaick Island program as the Rotary Club hosted its annual Ladies Night with a Sadie Hawkins Dogpatch theme. L Il Abner skits featured Daisy Mae and Marryin Sam, a barn dance closed the evening, and many locals participated in roles and impersonations. Henry Rickman and Daisy Mae plotlines caused comic pandemonium as guests enjoyed a Dogpatch dinner and musical performances. Henry Sremba of 193 Saratoga Street will graduate from Albany College of Pharmacy with a B.S. degree after Army Air Force service in the Philippines.
