While looking for the cemeteries in Elkhorn Township I drove by what is left of the site of the Bohemian Hall, which burned on August 3, 2012. See the posts on April 29 for more details. Steve and Betty celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary at the dance hall.
Dances were held at the
Bohemian Hall on Sunday nights. Even though they would have to go to work on
Monday morning, Steve and Betty would often go. In the summer and on holiday
weekends, like Labor Day, when we did not have to go to school on Mondays, they
would take us along. I really did not care for the polka and waltz music, but
enjoyed the hot dogs, popcorn and 7-Up that we would buy with the 50 cents that
mom and dad gave us to spend at the concession stand that was in the basement.
We also liked running around the outside with the few other kids that were
there. But by the end of night I was really bored and wanted to go home.
