A mammoth dance and floor show for former Key Westers will be held in Miami at the Civic Center on the night of May 30.
Warren Smith, general manager of the Overseas Bridge Celebration announced today.
The six young ladies competing for the title "Miss Key West, Queen of The Fiesta", here July 2-4, will be guests of the Celebration Committee at the dance, being chaperoned by Mrs. Eva Warner and Mrs. John H. Costar.
An all Spanish floor show will be staged and will include Tony and Celina Betancourt, popular Rhumba Dancers, John Bennett and Marie Farto, who will do their favorite "La Jota" as a specialty number, and the well known string sextet, of Miami.
A committee was named today to get up a motorcade of Key Westers to make the trip to Miami for the dance next Monday following the memorial services at Lower Matecumbe.
Fire Chief Harry Baker is chairman of the committee which comprises Miss Norma Diaz, T. A. Leonard, Herman Holtsberg and Victor Larsen.
All Key Westers able to make the trip are asked to contact one of the committee so reservations can be made for them well in advance.
a huge overflow crowd to attend, despite the 3,500 capacity of the Civic Center. Motorists who can offer free transportation to the girls in the contest, and the dancers, are urged to at once communicate with Chief Baker, the committee desiring to derive as much profit as possible from the dance.
The same admission tickets used here will be used in Miami, the admission price being the same, and purchasers will vote for a "Miss Key West" at this dance just as is done at the local dances. Local sponsors of the contestants have been asked by Mr. Smith to contact their member organizations and friends in Miami and urge them to get out and vote for their respective candidates at the Miami dance.
The committee in charge of the dance and voting is the same as that which functions here and includes Mrs. Eva Warner, Mrs. John H. Costar, Miss Marguerite Hernandez and Mrs. May Hill Russell.
