OUR TALENT
Music this evening will be provided by River Road. They are Sarah-Hadley Yakir (fiddle), Kristen Planeaux (piano, accordion, flute), and Jesse Ball (guitar, mandolin, foot percussion). Our caller will be Annie Kidwell.
Celebrate the new year!
We’ll count down to midnight together, enjoy a sparkling cider toast, and sing “Auld Lang Syne.” Because the dance is longer than usual, we’ll have an extra waltz and extra break with snacks (including vegan and gluten-free options).
All Ages, All People welcome!
