***Colvin Run 1st Saturday Social Ballroom Dance.*** **"DANCE CANCELED"** 1st Saturday Social Ballroom Dance, February 7, 2026 As much as I look forward to and enjoy the First Saturday Ballroom Dances at Colvin Run, with safety being my primary concern, I felt it is better to error on the side of caution. The weather forecast is for temperatures between 10 & 12 degrees and with northwest winds predicted at 15-25 mph the wind chill temperatures could be near 0 degrees. **IN THE MEANTIME, WE WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!** ON THE BRIGHT SIDE! Our Third Saturday Ballroom dance is only two weeks away. Let's look forward to a "Welcome Back" to Colvin Run Dance Hall on Saturday February 21st. REMEMBER!
