Rain didn’t stop dancing Sunday afternoon under the London Bridge. The 4th Annual Line Dance on the Bridge was moved to under the Bridge because of weather, and it didn’t seem to bother over 250 dancers. Four songs played, including “Happy” by Pherrell Williams. The rain came down, the dancing continued and there were smiles all around along with boots in puddles. The event was a fundraiser for the Havasu Community Health Foundation. The Young Marines also were on hand to help when needed. Meet Some Of The Dancers: Ali O’Brian, Jackie Schoenecker, Sadie Welinski and Maggie Eli left St. Benedict College at 6 p.m. Friday evening to be in Lake Havasu by Saturday night. The girls drove from Minnesota to Arizona to visit family and to participate in the event. Jean Hembree dances along with her girlfriends Sunday afternoon to celebrate her 80th birthday.
