Activities
will fill the day with a nostalgic nod to each decade - a Maypole Dance
from the early 1900’s, flappers doing the Charleston and a Hula Hoop
& Twist Contest. There will be performances at the Amphitheater –
Double Dutch Force, Logan Steel Drum Band and a rock-reggae band, Lefty At The Washout.
Dancing Through Decades will feature all the popular dances of the last
hundred years. Some will be performed by professional dancers. The
audience will be invited to do dances like the Bunny Hop, Hokey Pokey,
Twist, Electric Slide, Macarena and Crank ‘Dat .
A Kickball Tournament and Relay Games will be fun for both contestants
and observers. Teams include the Columbia Police and Fire Departments,
Earlewood residents and our neighbors who live in Cottontown, Elmwood
Park and Arsenal Hill.
The History Corner will have a Photo Exhibit with pictures of Earlewood
from the early 1900’s to the present. Interviews with past and current
residents will be video recorded giving a glimpse of what life was like
in Earlewood in the past.
A
History Scavenger Hunt will have a modern twist because teams will use
their cell phones or digital cameras. Teams of two will scour the
neighborhood and the team that has pictures of all ten items in the
shortest amount of time takes home the $100 prize.
The Earlewood Reunion also includes our four-legged residents. There will be a Dog Parade and Most Incredible Dog Contest.
