Captured in this vintage print from Memory Lane Prints, the lively scene depicts a captivating performance by The Killingworth Sword Dancers at Stone Mountain Parks Memorial Hall, just 16 miles east of Atlanta, USA. The year was circa July 14th, 1977, and the occasion brought together nearly 400 Geordies and their Atlanta hosts for an unforgettable cultural exchange. The Friendship Force organization played a pivotal role in fostering international friendships during this era. As part of their visit to the United States, these talented dancers showcased their skills to an enthusiastic crowd. With precision and grace, they mesmerized onlookers with intricate sword dances that spoke volumes about tradition and heritage. Following the performances, both locals and visitors embarked on a tour through the sprawling 3,200-acre park—a testament to America's natural beauty. Amidst laughter and camaraderie, new connections were forged as conversations flowed freely between people from different corners of the world. As twilight descended upon them all, an evening picnic provided a perfect opportunity for further bonding over shared experiences and stories.
