A great crowd as usual for the Hawaiian S.H.I.R.T. dance. This themed dance originated many years ago to earn money that went towards our polkafestival held Thanksgiving weekend for 15 years. After several years of loss, the club decided to discontinue the local polkafest. Plenty of colorful people in their colorful attire attend this every year now. Joe Polach's St Louis Express Band provided the entertainment in 2019.
