The Cabot Community Contra Dance will kick off the long weekend on Friday, October 11, featuring the wonderful calling of Don Stratton, of Bristol, VT! The dance takes place in the lovely 3rd floor space in the Willey Building (Cabot Town Hall, 3084 Main St), from 7-9:30pm. Live music is provided by a great group of local musicians--feel free to just come and listen if you prefer!

Everyone is welcome, and anyone can dance with anyone, generally changing partners throughout the evening. You can come alone, with a friend or sweetheart, or your whole family! All dances are taught, but if you've never been to a contra, you are encouraged to arrive right at 7:00, as we will start with the simplest dances, and then we'll build upon what you learn throughout the evening. No special footwork is needed, and the dances are easy to learn.

Admission is on a sliding scale, $5-10 suggested, but nobody is turned away for lack of funds! Bring your water bottle, or water and cups will be provided. Masks are welcomed but not required, and we'll have the large windows open for fresh breezes.
