Prairie Rose events (our troupe):

 

February 24 (Tuesday), hafla (show) at the Center for Multicultural Education in the Maucker Union, UNI campus, 7pm. This show is a fundraiser so we can buy a stereo system for troupe performances--suggested donation $5. Let me know if you're interested in dancing in the show!
