Well, it's official, Cumberland Shuffle is over. Our fifth and final year was the absolute best, a total blowout--just like we hoped it would be!
Lucky for us, we've got some lovely photos and videos to remember our old-timey time by. Be sure to check out the pictures and videos from this year's event!
By far the biggest thing about this year was that we wanted to make it the best party ever, to serve as the culmination of the past 5 years of old-timey celebration and dancing that the event has come to be. We definitely met our goal in that regard! But while the event has been Morgan and Breanna's baby, we definitely couldn't have done it without all the support that we've had. We've put out thank-yous on Facebook all week since the end of the event, but here's a quick list. Know that, from the bottom of our hearts, we appreciate everything that any and every single one of you has done for the event! We wouldn't have any success at all without any of you. So, huge thank-yous to:
We know, it's a long list, but there's one more big thank you to give, too. To everyone who has ever contributed to the event in any way--whether you paid for a dance, spread the word to your friends, or even just donated string lights for us to see better throughout the weekend--we thank you the most. There are so many details that go into running an event, and there's no way we could have thought of all of them. Without your help and without your various forms of support, we wouldn't have been able to host five years of old-timey dance, music, and cultural celebration. From all the Cumberland Shuffle staff, we say: a million times, thank you!
PS: We look forward to celebrating with you in the future and putting together more great parties, and to that end, we've put together a survey so that we can collect your thoughts and opinions on the weekend. Help us improve by filling out your answers, HERE.

- Our amazing vendors and sponsors of this year's event for adding to our overall experience in innumerable ways, as well as our past sponsors and vendors for doing the same;
