I"m sure everyone has seen the famous NYC Rockette's in person or on television. When I was a child they were the highlight of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. My sister and I would wait anxiously to see them do their famous tap and kick routine in those tiny little holiday outfits.  Their long legs never moving out of step. The dance line was to achieve absolute precision and the audience sees 36 Rockette's perform intricate routines but always in perfect step as one dancer.

I enjoyed Ruby Lanes Red Tag Sale as much as the first. The two day period gave customers more time to browse and shop. Being near Christmas this sale was a winner! I could list 68 items and marked them 30-40% off choosing items I listed in early 2011 and those from wish lists. I listed my items early since I had plans on December 3 and would not be home. One Red Tag item sold Thursday night plus another person ordered. I mailed both packages on Friday.
