Golden Spike Can Can Dancers |
|
The Golden Spike Can Can Dancers is an energetic group of ladies who volunteer their time and energy into practicing and dancing to raise money for different charities.
The GSCCD have performed at the Golden Spike Days Festival for over 30 years. In recent years, have hosted a booth at the celebration where they sell garters and take pictures with visitors to raise money. Please drop by their booth and say hello.
The group is sponsored by the Pleasantside Community
Association, a registered non-profit organization. Throughout the rest of the year, they perform and make
appearances at fundraisers, casino nights, golf tournaments and other
special events. From the donations that they accept for their
performances, 100% of it is given to a charity that is chosen by the
group.
