October has been a very busy month! In fact, we're still trying to see what happened to July, August, and September! We made another trip out west, to San Jose, for a festival, in September.
Upon returning, we had several weekends, that included L.A, and Paris, TX. We headed out for dances in St Louis. While in St Louis, we were treated to a visit to the "Fabulous Fox Theater". We had a terrific tour of the theater! We learned the theater was built in 1928 through 1929, by William Fox. The extravagance, is unbelievable!
Below, are several photos, taken, during the tour.

Our visit to the Fox Theater was fantastic! We had a special tour, conducted by one of our dancing friends, Bill and Francine, from st Louis. The extravagance, of the theater, is second to none!
Upon, leaving the Fox, we paid a return visit to the Triumph Grille, in St Louis. We were admiring our photo, on the wall of fame, in the grille! |
