‘Throwback Dance’ recalls ’60s and ’70s

On Saturday, June 6, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, located at 17 South Ave. in Beacon, will host a fundraising dance from 7 to 11 p.m. Tickets are $25 for a couple or $15 per person.

The event, St. Andrew’s Yellow Room “Throwback Dance,” is a way to recognize the important and often pivotal role that St. Andrew’s played in the lives of Beacon’s youth in the ’60s and early ’70s. In an effort to provide activities and recreation, St. Andrew’s hosted teen dances every Friday evening. Although basketball games and tournaments were very popular, the Friday night dances were possibly the most popular.
