“Goolwa Alive” Sunday 4th October 2009

Goolwa has proven that it is well and truly alive and kicking, as thousands flocked to the township over the long weekend to celebrate Goolwa Alive.

 Cadell Street, the main thoroughfare was closed between Goolwa Terrace and Moore Street allowing 10, 000 or so visitors to spill onto it; song and dance were rife, and traders exhibited their best produce.  Traditionally, Goolwa Alive kicks of the tourism season and it certainly did just that.  Tanya Mitchell, tourism coordinator for the Alexandrina Council said “It’s lovely to see such a sea of people having a good time”.

Amongst those having a good time were the Goolwa Paddle Steamers Square Dance Club.  Assisted by a few dancers from Kanella Squares and Wild Frontier Square Dance clubs, they put on a square dance demonstration in the main street.

Square Dance Magazine wishes the Paddle Steamer all the future success they deserve.  Their caller Milton McKenzie travels each week down from Adelaide and Zaree the club secretary has certainly done a great job getting this new small club up and running.  The club was recently invited to do another demonstration dance at Sea Change Village, which went off very well, their learners are also doing very well now.

Well done Paddle Steamers, we need to bring square dancing to the attention of the general public most of who are totally unaware that it exists.
