Ed Preslar - Square Dance Caller - Preslar's Western Shop - Louisville KY

Almost 20yrs ago, my Uncle Eddie handed me a 2" studio film and told me there was footage of my Grandfather Ed Preslar calling square dance on it. The film then was lost to storage, but recently found! The challenge of finding a video transfer service able to transfer 'Quad Tape' proved challenging as the machines are vintage and rare, the operators are almost nonexistent and the cost was going to be exorbitant. Until, I found Larry at www.quadtapetransfer.com, who is a true gem, expert in his field and provided the service at a most reasonable cost. Thank you Larry! On the film we found lost footage of renowned square dance caller, Ed Preslar and The Circles 'n' Stars, dancing for Louisville KY Channel 41, Circ 1968-72. Ed was known for his unique calling style, taught thousands of people to square dance and was a major contributor to keeping the square dance tradition alive in the Kentuckiana region from the 1950's -1980's. Along with his calling for 4 clubs, in December of 1956, Ed assembled a group of callers and dancers to form the Kentuckiana Square Dance Association which two years later staged the 7th National Convention in Louisville . As president of the Kentucky Callers Assn. Ed promoted the first Callers Assn. Festival, which ran until the early 2000's. Ed's legacy is still alive today with the family run Western Wear Shop he started in 1958, Preslar's Western Shop, in Louisville Ky. Preslar's is still in operation today, run by the 3rd generation Preslar's, keeping the tradition alive. To look as daper as Ed, do-si-do on over to www.preslars.com !
