After over 80 years, the Skeena Square Dancers are putting away their cowboy boots.
Spokesperson for the group Ron Murphy says that they’ve been struggling to find new members for years, due to other programs and of course technology.
Murphy also says that with their current group growing older, it’s getting harder to do-si-do, and square dancing callers are hard to come by.
As a parting gift, the group donated $950 to the Happy Gang Centre in the names of Gail and Ed McFadden, long time square dancers who have passed on.
The cheque was presented to President of the Happy Gang Centre Greg Cowman on Dec. 8.
