The archives on the next four pages were taken from the YSDC scrapbooks and Grapevine newsletters. The articles and photos are in chronological order. If any member has an old article or photo they would like to share on this website, contact the council president and we will add it. I hope you enjoy traveling back in time and rekindling old memories or for the newer dancers, witnessing the hayday of square dancing.
