Dear DC's Country Junction,
First off, I want to start off by saying you are missed. You were around for such a long time and you were visited by a lot of the same people every Saturday night. I miss visiting you. I couldn't wait each week to learn a new line dance and I miss dancing all night until my feet hurt. I miss putting on my stompin' boots and shaking it on the floor with my girls. I miss the bean bag games, the burgers, and eating candy without feeling guilty about it because I knew I would be burning off all of the calories from dancing anyway. I miss stepping outside for a few minutes when it would be too hot to stay in the barn. I miss you, DC's...
Secondly, I would like to thank you for all of the memories you have brought me along with a lot of other people, including my parents. It was always interesting to meet new people there, to hear others' stories, to hear where other people were from in the area, and to bond with friends until I couldn't dance anymore.
Next, I would like to say that without you, my Saturday nights in high school to visits home on the weekend would've consisted of doing nothing, except working occasionally. Looking forward to a Saturday night with some of the same girls was one of my favorite stress relievers for the week. I enjoyed getting ready and asking my friends what they would be wearing so I didn't stick out like a sore thumb. Also, you helped me to push myself, mentally, by allowing me to strive for perfection when dancing and you also allowed me to have fun.
In addition, I enjoyed showing new people to you, while showing everyone how great they could dance! I brought a few first-timers and they loved you (as of what they told me)! I would also enjoy hearing them talk about their experience with other people and how they were amazed at how well some of the people could dance, including myself. I also loved these people meeting some of the people I consider my best friends and getting a taste of what it's like out in the country.
Lastly, I would like to thank you for some of the amazing friendships I've made because of you. Without you, I wouldn't have met some of my lifelong friends. You were my favorite place where I would spend every Saturday from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. And without you, I wouldn't have experienced some of the best times of my life. As of January 30, 2015 you are no longer with us.
Thank you, DC's Country Junction, for the numerous things you've done for me along with other people.
Sincerely,
A girl who'll always love you
