“For the Love of Shag”
September 2016
From Your Club President, Dan Ellington
Hi Everyone;
August was a very busy month for most of us. Meet Me in the
Middle was a great success again this year. We who are not
involved in the planning and execution of this event do not have a
sense of the work required to pull all of the pieces and parts
together. Remember to give a big Thank You to Steve Woodard,
Terry Gordon, Ann Allen and all the rest of the volunteers who
worked so diligently to make MMIM a success.
Many of us were able to participate in bringing shag lessons to the
teenage campers at Camp Courage this month. As always, we came
away with a better understanding of the reason that CSC has been
supporting Camp Courage for so many years.
Our club really stepped up for our “Heroes in Blue” this month.
Our Dancing for Dollars fundraiser netted $1,240.00 in 2 ½ minutes.
The money will be used to support officers injured in the line of
duty and families of officers who gave their lives in our service.
Thanks to all who participated and thank you to Sandy Templeton
for bringing this idea to the club. Take a moment to thank Greta and
her team at the Phoenix for their support of food and a large check.
Those of you who did not attend the Pig Pickin this month missed
some great food and fireworks. The barbeque along with the sides
and desserts were fantastic. Thanks to Rick and Becky Wilson who
organized the event, smoked the pig, volunteered their home and
cleaned up after we left. Thanks to Scott Kerwin who provided his
pyrotechnic skills and expertise for a first class fireworks display.
Many of us will be traveling to SOS and football games during
September. Remember to be careful out there.

Junior Shaggers Finish 2016 with Group Lessons & Dance
Juniors spend the Second Saturday with CSC at The Phoenix in Greenville
Young shaggers, parents and relatives
gathered at The Phoenix in Greenville
Saturday afternoon, August 13th as Carolina
Shag Club finished out the Junior Shaggers
season for 2016. Jeff and Dede Ward taught a
basic shag step, dishrag turn and an underarm
lead-follow step during the practice. Several
members of Carolina Shag Club also took to
the floor to assist with the lessons and take
time to socialize with the children.
Many of the kids and their chaperones
stayed until 9:00 p.m. at Greenville Pub
(Phoenix’ bar) to dance with friends and
adults, enjoy food and drinks, stay out of the
heat and listen to DJ Todd Gettys’ music.
Another Junior Shagger series is planned
to begin next spring. More details will be
forthcoming.
Junior Shaggers surround Jeff and Dede
Ward (center) as they demonstrate a beginner
step. After the juniors practiced they moved
on to learn turns and a type of lead-follow
step.

Shaggers to the Junior Shagger class prior to their
dance exhibition for the attendees.

Junior Shaggers and other members of the

on until about 9:30 p.m. as they danced with

13th Annual Meet Me In the Middle (MMIM) Party…
The Carolina Shag Club held the 13th annual ‘Meet Me in the Middle For a Sand Flea Reunion”
(MMIM) party on August 5-6th at The Hilton Hotel in Greenville, S.C. The annual party features DJs
beginning on Friday afternoon at 5:00 p.m., a charity silent auction room, free Sand Flea Drink and Margarita
adult beverages (there is a time limit on these). Also featured are the Junior Shaggers “Dancing for Dollars” to
support the Ellen Taylor Foundation, a free shag step workshop (featuring CSC’s own Jeff and Dede Ward),
assorted vendors, raffles and a Saturday evening Southern themed buffet.
Steve Woodard, MMIM’s chairperson organizer said that MMIM was a lot of fun and a big success.
“We sold 225 weekend tickets and approximately 25 day tickets were also purchased this year. I believe we
also netted about $2,700 on the silent auction.” MMIM’s silent auction proceeds typically go toward
supporting the club’s charities such as Ellen Taylor Foundation and Camp Courage. Most clubs in the
Association of Carolina Shag Clubs organization support at least one charity or other non-profit.
Diane Steele of Greer, S.C. and her husband, John
happily display their $437 winnings from the 50/50
Split-the-Pot drawing on Saturday night at Meet Me
in the Middle. The drawing is typically held around
10:00 p.m. on Saturday evening to not conflict with
the Junior Shaggers raffle conducted on Friday night.
Steve Day of Boiling Springs, S.C. won $83 from
the Duck Race on Saturday afternoon at the
MMIM pool party. Pool parties often help fill in
the afternoon during MMIM. The party also
featured a DJ (“Soup” Campbell) in the ballroom
for those who preferred to not sit out in the 95°
heat and high humidity.

several hats, various size t-shirts, a
couple of polo shirts with a shag
emblem on them, gift certificates from
Fat Harold’s, Hoskins, a pizza place

Saturday Pig Pickin’ at ‘Wilson’s Farm’
Carolina Shag Club members and guests enjoyed the club’s annual Pig Pickin’ on Saturday, August
27 at Rick and Becky Wilson’s farm in Grey Court, S.C. The Pig Pickin’ has become an annual outing for
club members. It began several years ago on Rick’s 50th birthday celebration (Yes! Rick cooked everyone a
meal on HIS birthday. Thanks, Rick for beginning an annual tradition).
While the Carolina Shag Club purchases the pig, club members dress out the remainder of the party
with their own covered dishes. Each year there is an assortment of baked beans, vegetables, salads, potato
dishes, breads and desserts. Other members often add to the venue by bringing a variety of adult
beverages.
And as the sun set across the pasture, Scott Kerwin, a member from Central, S.C. set up a fireworks
display that included airburst styles called “Chrysanthemum”, “Fish”, “Spider”, “Palm” and “Crossette.”
This is the second year that Scott has provided an impressive fireworks show at the “Pickin.”
th
CSC members are
seated in a large circle while
partaking of the evenings
barbecue and covered dish
items. Becky and Rick’s
back yard has ample seating
for the estimated 80-100
attendees.
Scott Kerwin, Danny Scott and
Joe Hayden set up fireworks at
sundown prior to the show.

with several friends before the fireworks display. “Young
Elaine” masks were given to all.
