Casper’s Sadie Hawkins Dance Will Be A Hoedown!

If you love to dance and have a good time, come join the Wind City Drifters at the Sadie Hawkins dance, Thursday, November 13th at 6pm.

Mountain Plaza Assisted Living expects costumes, but not required.  Hearken back to 1935, when Al Capp's Li'l Abner featured Sadie Hawkins, "the homeliest gal in all them hills."

As the story is told, by the age of 35, Sadie Hawkins hadn't found a proper suitor, thus her father soon declared it, "Sadie Hawkins" Day.

So, figuring he had nothing to lose; he called all the unmarried men of Dogpatch together and declared it Sadie Hawkins Day. In a reversal of Atalanta’s race in ancient Greek mythology, the idea of the race placed Sadie in hot pursuit of the town’s bachelors, and whichever “lucky” chap she managed to catch became her lawful wedded husband. Or, as her Paw explained it, “When ah fires [my gun], all o’ yo’ kin start a-runnin! When ah fires agin—after givin’ yo’ a fair start—Sadie starts a runnin’. Th’ one she ketches’ll be her husbin.” Pure poetry.
