Chuck’s Birthday Celebration
We had a big turnout for Dave’s Country Swing lesson at 7pm before the dance started. Then the dancing started at 8pm and we had to open the doors to cool it off right away.

Celebration of Life – Bill Tozer
Bill Tozer
Passed away June 17, 2018
Bill started taking dance lessons with his wife Gloria back in 1988 or 1989 with Dave Serfling when he stepped in as the replacement instructor at Renton Technical College. They continued to attend his Friday Night dances at the Rockin’ Horse Dance Barn until it was too hard to dance.
Bill was born in Ellensburg on May 11, 1938. He moved to Seattle in 1958 and he and Gloria were married in 1962. They have two daughters Cynthia and Carina. Bill was an operating engineer for the Rainier Brewing Company. He enjoyed DANCING, boating, fishing, camping and heading down the road with his trailer.
Happy Birthday Steve Kellie Karen and Bailey
Happy Birthday Steve Kellie Karen and Bailey
We celebrated four birthdays on Friday June 8, 2018. These three people were happily celebrating their birthdays and Bailey the Search and Rescue dog was celebrating her first birthday. She has been coming to the Barn ever since her owner Dave got her as a puppy.
There was plenty of dancing that night and of course eating cake. Join us Every Friday Night for our dance. There’s a really good chance we’ll have cake or some other dessert. If you want to celebrate with something fun bring a dessert to share any Friday Night and we’ll help you have a fun birthday celebration.
