Burrow into the bluffs that line the Mississippi River on St. Paul's West Side to eat a scrumptious dinner in the historic and legendary Wabasha Street Caves. The caves have been home to mushrooms, mobsters, speakeasies, live big-band "Swing Nights," and on Wednesday May 23, 2007, the scene of the SPNHC Conference Banquet. After dinner let Jumbo Ya Ya entice you to the large hardwood dance floor with a wide range of styles like Zydeco, Cajun, Country Swing, Blues, Ska, Jazz, and Ragtime. The message is loud and clear - "Everybody Dance!" This promises to be an unforgettable evening; 1920s and 30s theme dress is encouraged!
