Memorial dance

PORT ANGELES — Black Diamond Community Hall, 1942 Black Diamond Road, will host a dance workshop at 7:30 p.m. Saturday with a dance to follow at 8 p.m.

Entry is by the suggested donations of $8 for adults or $4 for youths.

The special dance — celebrating the life of Bob Boardman — will feature the Possum Carvers, various musical guests and Carol Piening calling the dance moves.

This annual memorial benefit raises a significant contribution of funding for the Bob Boardman Fiddle Tunes Scholarship Fund, organizers said, with all proceeds from this dance going to this scholarship fund.

This fund helps pay scholarships for young musicians to attend the week of workshops at Centrum’s Festival of American Fiddle Tunes, according to a news release.

Boardman was very involved in the festival throughout the years, and took special delight in nurturing the musical skills of younger musicians.

For more information, call 360-457-5667.
