The Parkview Huntington Family YMCA Third Annual Swing Inn dance party is slated to take place on Saturday, April 26, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the YMCA. Just as back in the 1950’s and 60’s, our event will be the place-to-be.

According to the Huntington High yearbook, Swing Inn fun was rated as the “best ever” by all the smartest “cats” and coolest “chicks.” Those who attended our event the last two years are saying the same thing.

The event is being held later in the spring so more snowbirds will be back to Huntington and can join us but people of all ages are certainly welcome to attend. This year’s Swing Inn dance party event will now feature an area DJ who will be spinning the golden oldies and classic music as attendees twist and shout and dance just like the good ole’ days.

With the paid entry fee, those attending will be treated to a light dinner and old-fashioned sodas during social hour and then will enjoy dancing and entertainment into the evening. There will be a local merchant silent auction with the opportunity to go home with great items and services, during the early portion of the event.

While dressed in their best era outfits from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, “cats” and “chicks” will cut up the dance floor; however, attendees are not required to dress-up. The YMCA Swing Inn is a ticketed event with proceeds supporting the YMCA Annual Campaign which provides scholarships and financial assistance to allow Y programming to be available for all.

There are still opportunities for supporters and sponsors to help make the Swing Inn a successful event. Please contact Joy at joy.koch@huntingtony.org or Terri at teresa.bartrom@huntingtony.org for questions about how you can support this event.

Presale tickets (registration) is on sale now for $20 per person at the YMCA. Call (260) 359-9622 or stop by our front desk during Y hours to register and to gain more information about the Swing Inn. Entries purchased on the day of the event will cost $25 per person. The YMCA is located at 1160 W 500 N, Huntington.
