Calendar
NOTE: Because of the COVID pandemic, we have changed how we operate to make sure we keep our community safe, as decided by the Blazing Saddles board. Although we do have members in their 20s and 30s, the vast majority of our regulars are in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, and it is our priority to create a safe environment for all of them. Please read our policies (including face mask requirement) and procedures on our home page and prepare accordingly before you come.
UPCOMING CHANGES TO THE BLAZING SADDLES SCHEDULE
Currently, we meet every Tuesday (6:30–9:00 pm), except for the second Tuesday of the month when we don't have the ballroom. This will be the case through June 30, 2023.
Starting July 2023, Blazing Saddles will only be meeting on the FIRST, THIRD, and FIFTH TUESDAY of the month. Because of increasing requests for the Palladium, the Department of Parks & Recreation decreased our available dates. So we will not have the second or fourth Tuesdays of the month or any holidays (e.g., July 4th).
To make things easier to follow, Blazing Saddles will be open for the following dates for the rest of the year:
2023 (6:30–9:00 pm):
May 16, 23, & 30
June 6, 20, & 27
July 18
August 1, 15, & 29
September 5 & 19
October 3, 17, & 31
November 7 & 21
December 5 & 19
Blazing Saddles will not be open on other Tuesdays.
