PRESIDENT'S LETTER: MAY 2008
In 2005, I danced with the Leight Fantastics, and
lived to make a documentary of the experience! In fact, I am back for more, Karen
and I are dancing in two numbers this year to honor the thirty year run of this
local treasure and its leader, Eleanor Leight. It was the first president of
the Society, Everett Olsen, who asked Eleanor if she would help put together
a Bicentennial Show at the high school stadium. Following the close of a successful
show, a few ladies asked Eleanor (who is a former Radio City Music Hall Rockette)
about tap-dancing lessons, and the Monday night dance class became the genesis
of the Leight Fantastics. Eleanor's reasoning goes something like this -- if
you’re going to take dance lessons, you need to do a recital; if you’re going
to do a recital, you might as well add a couple vocalists and do a little show.
Everett Olsen suggested it be called a "Vaudeville Show" while volunteering to
dance in the first show, held in the High School auditorium on April 28, 1979.
The Snohomish Historical Society has continued as the primary sponsor through
out the years, but today the proceeds are shared with several community organizations
in Snohomish. Please call Nancy Price, one of the original Leight Fantastics,
to order tickets at 360.568.5198. And you can learn more about my DVD HERE.
And you may continue on to the full letter HERE.
