RESULTS 2006

 

Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s Pacific Northwest Lindy Hop Championships which were held at Washington Dance Club.  A special thanks to our Canadian friends who joined us during their Thanksgiving holiday weekend.  In addition to the trophies, special prizes were awarded to each of the first-place winners.

 

I’d especially like to acknowledge the hard work provided by the judges and volunteers. You were a true blessing as I could concentrate on other parts of the event that needed attention.
