Dancing Through the Decades, Merrill Historical Society fundraiser

MERRILL - The Merrill Historical Society held their first big fundraiser in their remodeled building Sunday.

The building was once a church, but Sunday it was a dancefloor. The historical society hosted Dancing Through the Decades.

Merrill Historical Society's Jane Francoeur, was a big part of the event's success.

"The idea that brought this all on was we came across in our collection a bunch of slides from Merrill junior and senior high school. They go all the way from 1912 up until the 1990s," said Froncoeur. "I know, and we thought what can we do so that we can show these slides, I mean how boring would that be, so we though we'll put them together with the music from that time, and have an event."
