These are photos from various dances when I, Sherri, and Judy Wing were little. As far as I remember Dayna Featherstone did all the costumes but My Mom’s friend Edna White (Dave White’s mom) may have made the odd one. I remember going to her house at Innisville. The piano player for most of our music was Gert MacTavish. She was grandmother to Ron MacTavish, Ottawa Valley Moving. –Sheri Iona ( all photos Sheri Iona)
Sherri LASHLEY, 1960, taken at a Christmas concert at Innisville.
Note spelling of my name is wrong. Costume was for Here Comes Suzy Snowflake. We sang and danced.
We would be about 8 years old
This was my favorite costume. The colours which don’t show well we’re like a rainbow. The song was Baby Take A Bow.
I don’t remember this one much. The picture was taken at my parents’ farm at Montgomery Shore. And my hair appears red, which while I was blonde, my mom would have loved! I was probably 9. I quit dancing at 10 to study piano.
Sheryn (Lashley) Sauvé or Sherri donated one of her dance costumes from 1970 created by seamstress Dayna Featherstone back in early sixties when Sherri studied tap dance under local dance teacher Lee Howard. Sherri danced with Judy Wing, daughter of Ronald Wing. Together they won several dance and talent contests and even tried out for the Ted Mack show. Sherri Iona — This will be donated to the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum
