Mixer at Midnight Ballroom

The Midnight Ballroom was the scene of our big Friday night gathering. We were met
with a caution sign! (Bev asks everybody to help out with putting names to pictures or making 
corrections - please send changes to bev@sitesandsounds.com).


The young ladies in the picture are Bev Wilcox Collins' daughter Beth Haworth and Bev's
niece Deb Scafferi Rohne. Deb graduated from the new MHS; she is Barbara Wilcox
Scafferi's daughter, who was in MJC in 1955-56. Many people remember Barb for the
"Do You Remember" column in Marshalltown Past Times.


There was a lot of room to spread out at the Midnight Ballroom. 


The Midnight Ballroom is located in the old Hy-Vee grocery store mall on Center Street.


Mayor Joel Greer welcomed the Fabulous 50s reunion attendees back to Marshalltown.
See the Proclamation on the main Fab 50s page proclaiming September 24-26, 2021, 
Fabulous 50s Weekend! Judge Michelle Greer is in the background.
