beginning Tuesday, July 15 at 9:00 a.m.

Event Date: One evening only!! Saturday, November 8, 2014

7:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.

It was the era of a
toe-stomping Chattanooga Choo Choo -- a time when today's World War II
veterans were young soldiers fighting a major way. To honor these brave men and
women, the B&O Railroad Museum is hosting a Swing Dance inside its
1884 Roundhouse. Bumper Jacksons, recognized as the region's
"Best Traditional Folk Band" at the Washington Area Music Awards last
year, performs live jazzy, rowdy American street music of pleasure and
celebration, freedom, and a good old-fashioned dance party. Amateurs receive a
30-minute dance lesson beginning at 7pm. A portion of the proceeds benefit A Taste of Home, apolitical and non-partisan
organization that provides acts of kindness for Maryland's sons and daughters
in harm's way. Light food & beverage including beer and wine concessions
provided by Crown Foods Service. Costume or period dress encouraged but not
required.

In-advance: $20 for B&O Members, $25 for the General Public,
