This was a special year in dancing when Louisburg School of Dance (LSOD) played a game in choosing dance music with names included in the titles. Some of the fun titles picked were “Dance Cinderella Dance,” Mickey’s Got the Beat,” “Rocking Robin,” “Ben,” “Elvira,” “Mustang Sally,” “Proud Mary,” “Manda the Panda,” “Aaron’s Party,” “Eli’s Coming,” “Adam’s Family,” etc. According to the teachers, it was fun picking the songs for dancing. The “Name Game” dance review was presented on June 3-4 at the Louisburg College Auditorium.

Sealing and insulating your home is often the most cost-effective method to making your home more energy efficient, as well as keeping it comfortable on these agonizingly hot summer days.
Louisburg police arrested a man who is no stranger to law enforcement.
