The Little Brown Jugs Square Dance Club

Little Brown Jug Singles Square Dance Club originated as an offshoot of the Delaware Square Ups (a couples club) in the Spring of 1986. Bob Jones taught the first class (1985–1986) assisted by Don Kinnear and others when Bob had back trouble; then Cecil Abery taught for 2 years (1986–1988), Tom Dillander for 3 years (1988–1991), Lowell Noland for 4 years (1991–1995) and now Bob Daye (1995–present).

Dances for singles and couples were first held at the Delaware Armory which had a beautiful wooden floor. The club's second home base was at the Delaware Vocational School and currently the LBJs utilize the Hillborn Room at Mingo Park, the city's recreation center on 500 E Lincoln Ave.

During the school year this plus-level-with-rounds club dances on the 3rd and 5th Fridays from 7:30 to 10:15. Besides our traditional Valentine's dance and St. Patrick's dance, Little Brown Jug Singles sponsors an April in Paris dance where guests are encouraged to wear their finest dance outfits.

During the summer months Little Brown Jug dancers perform demos at the Delaware County Fair, Little Brown Jug Horse Parade, and various country western style functions, to recruit new dancers for the fall lessons. We particpate in the state and national conventions, charitable dances and entertain at local rehab facilities as needed. We look forward to joining other Central Ohio Corporation of Dance Clubs in hosting the 53rd Ohio Dance Convention in 2013.

As members of Singles Square Dancers U.S.A. we will be traveling to Indianapolis this Labor Day Weekend for the 41st National Singles Dance-A-Rama and are excited to dance a tip on the Indy 500 track.
