Live Oak High School’s Sadie Hawkin’s Dance went off without a
hitch – unless you count all those young couples getting
“hitched” in true Sadies tradition. The dance took place Sept.
20 at Coyote Ranch.

For those readers who do not know what the Sadies dance is, it is a great, outdoorsy event where the girls ask the guys and then the couples dress up in matching attire. Usually this event has a somewhat hillbilly/ cowboy flare to go along with the ranch setting.
Getting back to Saturday night, this dance was truly a success. The DJ was great, the hay ride was … well … crowded (always a good sign of a brilliant event), and the marriage hall was crazy. Shotgun weddings can get a little out of control at times.
As always, we had our faithful reverend, Marrying Sam (Norm Dow), who performed the endless ceremonies.
Though this dance was from 8 p.m. to midnight, many students started early and partied late. Some went with their dates to dinner beforehand and others went to get food at local fast-food restaurants afterward. Jack-in-the-Box was definitely the place to be after midnight.
All in all, the dance was a huge success, and although the ladies at Live Oak may have suffered some financial drainage, it was well worth it.
