These pre-festival activities will take place at Swingtime Center, 5100 SE Loop 820, Fort Worth. While in the past all of these activities have been free, because of the large increase in the cost of the facility, this year there will be a fee for attending any of these sessions of $10.00 per couple / 5:00 per single payable at the door. Any couple registered for the main Festival event, may pay a one-time fee of $50.00 per couple to attend all the pre-festival activities (4 dances, 6 teaches). The tentative instructor line-up and rhythm/level (subject to change) for the impromptu pre-festival teaches at Swingtime Center is: Tuesday: 10:00 a.m. JL & Linda Pelton 5 WZ 2:00 p.m. Ron & Marilou Webb?

Thanksgiving Day Luby s Cafeteria (approx. 1-1/2 mile from Swingtime and a block from La Quinta) will be open from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. and will have a Thanksgiving Dinner menu available. If we give Luby s an approximate number about an hour before we go to eat, they will arrange some tables so we can all sit together.
