Georgy Alabam presents two great square dance callers -- Phil Jamison and Scott Russell calling southern squares and big sets -- and music by three hard driving old time bands from Georgia and Alabama--Red Mountain, The Yahoos and Peavine Creek.

We’ll dance in the historic 1930s ballroom at the Bald Rock Lodge, in Cheaha State Park (the highest point in Alabama), 25 miles south of Anniston, Alabama.

Tuition : $80 per person.

Registration:

Registration is limited to 75 dancers, so download and send in the registration form soon.

Lodging: 

You will be responsible for choosing and paying for your own lodging.  We have a block of rooms reserved until December 1st.  After that we can no longer guarantee you a room as the park will make these rooms available to the general public.

The State Park offers motel rooms, cabins, chalets and campsites.  When making a motel reservation ask for the block reserved by Gordon Graham.  You can make reservations at www.alapark.com/cheaharesort.

For folks on a tight budget:  For $20 you can reserve floor space and showers in the lodge for the weekend when you send in your registration form.
