Sock Hop fun

As part of The Life Atomic programming, the Coloma-Watervliet Area Chamber of Commerce sponsored a Sock Hop at the Coloma Middle School on April 16. Visitors of all ages dressed up in period costumes and enjoyed 1950s music. The hula hoop contest was a big hit - with four contestants taking home gift ceritificates to Safarai Joe's in Watervliet.
