The Charlie Brown Squares came into existence in 1967 when Denny Lantz
and several local dancers decided to form a club. The club was very small
in the beginning and Denny was a very new caller. The dances were held in the
Isaac Walton Building in Riverside Park near the boat ramp.
Before long, the club moved to its present location sharing the building with several other
clubs. The club grew and flourished over the years.
Other callers have had the pleasure of being the Charlie Browns club
caller. These have included Loren Cochran, Bob Studevoss, Wayne
Weaver and Ken Trowbridge. During its 39 year growth, the club
has had some great leadership and workers to keep it strong.
More recently, the "Charlie's" have acquired a nickname of "Rowdy Browns."
Their fun loving nature and eagerness to tease and please have earned them this
title.
The Charlie Browns have grown considerably in the past three years and has a membership
of over 160 dancers. It is one of the largest clubs in Southern Oregon and is still growing. Their
members include dancers from Southern Oregon and Northern California.
