On this day in Rock Springs Park History, the ‘Last Dance’ at Virginia Gardens was held. The Panhandle Press reported on June 26, 1974, “Everyone in the surrounding area has such loving memories from years gone by, ones that will never be forgotten and after last Sunday night; more than 1,000 people added that evening to the loving memories.” The proceeds benefited the Northern Hancock County Community Library, now the Lynn Murray Memorial Library in Chester.
