Footloose

As you can see from this photo, on our recent trip to Utah, Samantha greatly reduced the degrees of separation between herself and Kevin Bacon.  Here she is, dancing at the Lehi Roller Mills, where back in 1984, Bacon's character in "Footloose" carried around sacks of flour, and practiced his dance moves.

The buildings and silos remain virtually unchanged since 1902, but gone are the cornfields where his girlfriend's parents Rev. and Mrs. Shaw (John Lithgow and Dianne Weist) anxiously watch while the high school dance goes on.  The entire area is now home to fast food restaurants, fine dining, grocery stores, convenience stores, and even motels.  What a difference 30 years makes! The Roller Mills is not exactly a tourist trap, because if you are looking for Kevin Bacon or Footloose memorabilia, that won't be found here. But you can purchase biscuit, cookie, brownie, or pancake mix.  And of course, pose for a photo :-)
