Looking for a really good time? You can’t beat Tuesday night Jammin’ at the Scotts Community Center from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. Each week you can find 25 to 40 musicians and over 100 people ready to dance the night away, or just sit and enjoy the music.
Musicians who regularly appear at the Jammin sessions are also regulars at other venues, such as the Koffee Klutch in Galesburg. Some of these entertainers are local, while others travel in from places as far as away as Grand Rapids and even Indiana.
For most numbers the floor is filled with dancers. Music brings dancing styles that include everything from the two-step to Texas swing, waltzes and even some line dances. Highlighting the middle of the evening are square dances, usually with four squares filling the floor.
Then there is the whistle dance. Couples dance until a whistle is blown, then break apart to travel in a circle around the dance floor with ladies going in one direction and the gentlemen going the other. When the whistle blows again the dancers pair up with the nearest partner and dance until they hear the whistle and break apart again.
Feeling lucky? Take a chance on the 50/50 drawing. For just $1.00 you can get three tickets. Half of the ticket sales is split into two pots with two winning tickets drawn.
Hungry? Get your supper at the concession stand. Sandwiches include hot dogs, chili dogs, and sloppy joes. We have hot coffee and a variety of cold beverages. For dessert have a slice of pie, or maybe a just baked cookie. And who can ignore the wonderful aroma of freshly popped popcorn?
Jammin’ t-shirts are on sale for $10 each. They are available at the door, with sizes ranging from Small to XXXL. You can get a gold shirt with blue lettering, or blue shirt with lettering in gold.
Come and join us on Tuesday. The door opens 5:00pm, and the music begins at 5:30. We greet you with a smile at the door, and a donation can is ready to accept your donation for admission. All proceeds from the door, concessions, 50/50 tickets and t-shirt sales go to maintain the community center.
