what you did. You went to<br />
sock hops on Friday night.”<br />
Along with dinner from<br />
Orland Chateau and entertainment<br />
by the band Sundance<br />
— who played a variety<br />
of hits including “Can’t<br />
Help Falling in Love,” “This<br />
Magic Moment” and “Tequila”<br />
— the event also featured<br />
door prizes, a raffle,<br />
a costume contest and, of<br />
course, a whole lot of dancing.<br />
Shortly after dinner,<br />
attendees lined up in two<br />
groups to participate in the<br />
casual saunter that is The<br />
Stroll.<br />
Tinley Park resident Lorrie<br />
Corgan explained that<br />
she loves all of the songs<br />
from the ’50s and she has a<br />
few favorite dances, too.<br />
“The Jitterbug, naturally,”<br />
she said. “The Stroll, and<br />
we used to do the cha-cha a<br />
lot. It makes you feel young<br />
again to hear all the songs<br />
from the ’50s.”<br />
For many, the company of<br />
the 225 people in attendance<br />
was the true highlight of the<br />
Sock Hop.<br />
“It’s great to see people<br />
getting together. Everyone’s<br />
having a ball, and that’s what<br />
it’s all about,” said Tinley<br />
Park resident Tom Lyons.<br />
The Toccis also counted<br />
the collective camaraderie of<br />
Sock Hop attendees as one<br />
of the best elements of the<br />
event.<br />
“We love the Sock Hop,”<br />
Holly said. “The music, the<br />
camaraderie, the ambience<br />
of it. It’s just wonderful. The<br />
Orland Chateau is a beautiful<br />
place, and Marie and the Orland<br />
Township do a wonderful<br />
job with all the dances.”<br />
Orland Township has a<br />
lot more fun in store with<br />
its upcoming senior services<br />
events, including a Roaring<br />
’20s Dinner Dance on Sept.<br />
27 and Dancing with the Senior<br />
Stars on Nov. 13. The<br />
Senior Dating Game also is<br />
returning, with a casting call<br />
to take place Aug. 14 before<br />
the live show on Oct. 4 at<br />
Orland Chateau.<br />
They say if you love your<br />
job, then you never work a<br />
day in your life. Perhaps<br />
that’s Orland Township’s secret<br />
to always hosting events<br />
that are welcoming, warm<br />
and a whole lot of fun.<br />
“I love the seniors,” Ryan<br />
said. “They are great people,<br />
and they make me happy. I<br />
love my job, so I’m happy to<br />
be here and be here with all<br />
of them.”<br />
