Congratulations to Janice Hanzel for receiving the 2009 Lucy Johnson Award from C.L.O.G. at the National CLOG Convention in November.This award is presented to an outstanding contributor to the clogging community. Kathey Wilson from Alaska was also a recipient this year. In 2008 Lois Elling (CA) and Anne Mills (WA and AZ) were presented the award.
Many dancers had a terrific time dancing to a host of classic clogging dances and celebrating Doug Chin's life at the Chin-Dig in Belmont on Sept. 12. Doug's family attended, the Barbary Coast Cloggers performed, and eight cuers kept the dancers moving. It was a fun and bittersweet evening, but mostly fun. Thanks Doug for your inspiration!

NCCA 2009 CONVENTION A FUN WEEKEND!
Thanks to Kellee, Richard, and the committee for putting on a fun weekend of clogging workshops, dancing, exhibtions, and more. In keeping with the RECYCLED theme, many great old clogging dances were taught. These were dances that were popular at one time (and maybe still are), but many recent dancers never had the chance to learn. These oldies but goodies were popular at the workshop. Along with the oldies, many new dances were taught as well. You can check out what was taught from the program (Friday, Saturday Day, Saturday Night, Sunday) and also see many photos of the activities.
