Sign
Grab your dance partner

This dance sign has been with the hall since it was built in 1955. The 'Flirtation' sign indicated that it was time to move around and swap dance partners. The dances might include the Pride of Erin or the Barn Dance. Dances were an especially important element of the social calendar for farming communities.
