89 Years, Still Got Gears \u2014 Let's Dance!
Advertisement
Enos Bender is turning 89, and we're throwing him a boot-scootin', heel-kickin', good ol' fashioned birthday BASH! 🎉
Some folks slow down with age... Enos apparently missed that memo! 😂
At 89, he can still outwork half the room, outdance the other half, and somehow find time to make a new friend before the next song starts!
For years, Enos and his beloved wife shared their love of dancing by teaching others how to find their rhythm together. And while she's no longer here to share the dance floor with him, that love of music, dancing, and bringing people together lives on through him. ❤️
He's the kind of man who gives without expecting anything in return, loves without limits, and has never met a stranger he couldn't turn into a friend.
So this year, we're turning the tables and celebrating the man who's spent a lifetime showing up for everyone else!
👢 Dust off those boots!
🎶 Bring your dancing feet!
🤠 Grab your friends and family!
❤️ And come help us give Enos a birthday he'll never forget!
Whether you're a seasoned dancer, need a few lessons from the birthday boy himself, or just want to sit back and enjoy the festivities, EVERYONE is welcome!
🕡 Dancing: 6:30 PM – 10:30 PM
👢 Dance Lesson: 7:00 PM
🎶 DJ Song Requests: Got a favorite? Request it!
🎟️ Cover Charge: $5 per person, ages 8 and up, paid at the door directly to Mike and Micki's Country Dancers. Ages 7 and under are FREE!
