Winton Grange Hall Dances

This picture of Merle Haggard was on the May 6, 1974 cover of "Time" magazine.

Merle Haggard played at the Winton Grange Hall in the late 1960s. His hit record of "Swinging Doors" was out in 1966 and it was after that. Does anyone remember seeing him there? Did you take pictures?
Leanna is going to write an article for the "Winton Hometown News" about the dances at the Winton Grange Hall. Merle Haggard was her favorite and so she would especially like to hear your memories of that New Year's Eve dance.
Your memories of other Saturday night dances would be appreciated also and pictures of the hall itself, inside or out.
The Winton Historical Society is always looking for nice vintage pictures of Winton. If you have a scanner, they can be sent to me in the jpeg format, (600 dpi is usually what I use for scanning). If you would email your memories of the dances at the Winton Grange Hall or pictures of Winton for the Winton Historical Society, I will pass them on to Leanna.
Thank you so much, we appreciate your input. Lorraine

Merle Haggard is going to appear at the Gallo Center in Modesto in January.
