Despite a rainy night, our first ever Holy Angels Casino Night was fun for all. The tables were full all night and the shouts from the Craps tables probably shook the house!! The raffles were fun as everyone watched their (many) tickets and kept their fingers crossed hoping to win. Thanks to all who attended and to the many wonderful donors who donated the great prizes.

Our second annual Dinner, Dance & Auction on June 26, 2010,  was a success again! Everyone showed up with their 1960's attire, including psychedelic, hippie and other fun costumes. We had absolutely wonderful auction items and the music by TIme Machine was rocking!

Kim and the Caballeros (minus the horse) thrilled the crowd with their fabulous music for Holy Angels' second annual Boot Scoot'n Barn Dance and BBQ held on January 29, 2010. In spite of snow that week and cold weather, everyone had a great time. The barbeque was delicious and best of all, we raised more money for the building fund. Check our website for information about our next fund-raiser! Don't be left out of the fun or a chance to help build our church.

Kim and the Caballeros are from Taos and do amazing renditions of some of the old "honky-tonk" music that some of us grew up with. They're also adept at some Blue Grass and newer Country-Western songs. The dance floor was hopping the entire night. We hope to see them again in the future at some of our functions.

1950'S DINNER & DANCE
 
The poodle skirts & bobbi socks were definitely visible and it WAS a fantastic '50's style dance and spaghetti dinner, along with live and silent auctions on June 20th, 2009. The Time Machine from Taos performed live music (all oldies). The "Holy Angels Bee-Boppers" led by Diane Peterson, our local dance instructor, entertained the crowd of approximately 250 - 275 with a dance to "We Go Together" a song from the movie Grease. The night was a HUGE success, both in raising some much-needed cash for the Holy Angels Building Fund and also as a community get-together with many positive comments still coming in!

Look for this fun activity again in 2010!!

Some of the auction items donated included a beautiful custom-made rustic bedroom set (eight pieces in all) built and donated by Keith and Lorraine Narmi (see picture below) and a like-new 1999 Arctic Cat 440 CC snowmobile, donated by Mike and Jeannie Spruell and a nice saddle donated by Tom Germsheid. One lucky person won the saddle that will make any cowboy or cowgirl very proud. Other items donated included jewelry, art work, landscape materials, and many other items donated by our generous community. Thank you to all who helped.

The Holy Angels Beeboppers strutting their stuff! Give lots of credit to Diane Peterson, Dance Instructor, for choreographing and conducting this number. I guess you can teach "old dogs" new tricks!! We all loved working with Diane and it was fun (and a lot of hard work) to learn "We Go Together" but we did it and the crowd seemed to enjoy it also.

If you remember soda shops in the 50's you know this is as authentic as they come!  Jim and Barbara Jean Veirs looked like they were ready to slap the burgers on the grill and serve the milk shakes! Congratulations to you for your originality. Sitting with Barbara Jean and Jim is Art Mackie, he and Fannie won third place for the costume contest.

Fannie and Art Mackey - poodle skirts and duck tails were the order of the day. Congratulations to all the Winners!
