WWII Era Canteen Dance

Come Cut A Rug At Our WWII Era Canteen Dinner Dance!

To kick-off its 3-part series of events commemorating the 65th Anniversary of D-Day and honoring our brave Service men and women -- past and present -- the Oyster Bay Historical Society will sponsor Oyster Bay Goes to War!, a World War II era canteen dance on Saturday June 6, 2009 from 6:00-11:00 pm at the East Woods School, 31 Yellow Cote Rd, Oyster Bay, NY 11771.

Bob Merrill and his GI Jive SwingCats will have you jiving to the music of WWII -- all the great sounds of the '40s that brought joy and comfort to our Boys & Girls at the USO Canteens.

And speaking of "comfort," you'll feast on all the wonderful "comfort foods" popular then and now, accompanied by wine, beer and pop! Plus, live entertainment throughout the evening, including Joel Fairman, Deborah Held, Bob Lindsay, Rosemary Miller, Shekinah MacMillan, John Schwartzberg, Bill Sheeline, and the Chorus of the Long Island Harmonizers! Not to mention "Jitterbug" lessons!

WWII Dress is encouraged!
