[Squaredancing] The 57th NSDC is now history

[Ken Robinson]

Hi from Wichita,

The 57th National Square Dance Convention is now history. The final 
total attendance number that I saw was 6,025. :-(  They had projected 7,000.

Spokane, WA won the bid for the 61st National Square Dance Convention 
to be held in 2012.

The National Executive Committee (NEC) announced they had a new web 
site <http://www.nsdcnec.com/>.  I understand it is still being 
worked on. I have a number of issues with it technically and the 
"Contact Us" form is broken (at least it was on Saturday morning)

I've updated my web pages that show the NSDC  attendance from 1952 
through 2008. The older one can be seen at < 
http://www.rbnsn.com/nsdc/index.php>. The newer one, which used 
Google Visualization (i.e. Javascript) can be found 
at  <http://www.rbnsn.com/nsdc/index_gv.php>. You can click on the 
individual bars to see the attendance figures.
