British Invade, costumes, dancers take the night
Saturday the sounds of electric guitars filled Herter Hall as 150 people danced the night away celebrating the British Invasion of the '60s. The gala event benefits the Bath County Arts Association and was held at Garth Newel for the first time this year, sponsored by Barking Dog Productions and the arts association. "The English Channel" provided the music. All ages enjoyed the fun and many wore costumes of the period. Pictured (upper, left) Ann Batley remembers hippy days in a long wig and sunglasses. She takes a break from dancing to pose with Sally Johnson, part of Barking Dog Productions. (Photos courtesy Kathie Schwend. At upper, right: dancing wasn't limited to those who remember the era. These young ladies were born a couple of decades after the invasion, but still got into the groove: (l-r) are Sarah Mellen, Krista Watson, Terrell Mellen and Liza Diamond.
