I don't think of those as novelty - but more dances with unique or seldom used
figures
A couple that come to mind without digging too deep
Gold Star Wednesday - by Dale Wilson - has a square dance figure that I have not seen in
any other contraDeep Well by Kathy Anderson - unique way to get into a star
Down by the Riverside - Melony Axle Lute - fun 3 face 3A Valentine Surprise - Eric Hoffman
- recently posted on this group - has large set prominade

Subject: [Callers] Novelty & Gimmick Contras
Here I am with another question. I learn so much from these threads.
What are some easy, but good, novelty, or gimmick contras. To elaborate, I mean contras
that have unusual moves, or contras that use basic moves in unusual ways.
Maybe Ovals, Wholeset Promenades, Old-Timey square dance moves?Two of my favorites are
"Hot Buttered Rolls" and "Roll Over Johannes"
