Youth Dance Festival

Our youth participated in the Stake Dance Festival. Each ward represented a different country and we were assigned Italy. We made the skirts for the girls, put together the hisotry of the church in Italy, provided samples of Italian food, painted a backdrop of Venice and had a great time. It was debated up until the week before as to whether or not we would participate due to the lack of interest (quite literally, most of the youth stopped attending mutual), but we managed to reluctantly convince four to dance and one more to help logistically. They really did pull it off... I think that we were all a little surprised how well it actually turned out.
