Where the bobby soxers and cool cats kicked up their heels for the town’s first R & K Rock 'n' Roll competition and social night.

But you would have had to be slick and quick ― it was sellout from the get-go as wannabe rockers starved of a dance floor swept into town and into the rhythm of the day.

Dancers took to the floor in vibrant 50s-style outfits, showcasing impressive footwork and twirls as spectators cheered them on.

From first-time dancers joining the throng to seasoned competitors vying for a place on the podium, the energy inside the venue was electric as the crowd rocked around the clock.

Community Bank Elmore, Lockington and Rochester came to the party as well with a $3300 cheque to get the jukebox jiving.
