ZURICH CORRESPONDENT
ZURICH — A very nice
dance showcase was held
at the South Huron
District High School Sun.,
Feb. 20. It was presented
by the Jo -Read Dance
School of Centralia.
Dancers came from vari-
ous places and everyone
did a great job. The cos-
tumes were beautiful and
we enjoyed watching a
total of 58 different per-
formances.
It was nice to see two
performers I knew:
Stephanie Van Raay of
Dashwood and Brittany
Hay -Janke of Exeter who
both did several tap
dancing numbers. The
girls will be going to a
competition in Hamilton
