You felt it this week: the hints of Spring, the bursts of sunshine. You have spent WAY too much time at home this winter. You've missed seeing fun people. You haven't had your fair share of raccoon pie, homemade bread and Chicken in a Biscuit Crackers dipped in Ben and Jerry's.

You've started to forget what it means to à la main left.

The remedy to all this awaits you just minutes from your front door. Join us for Contra Dance Therapy at the Caledonia Grange #9 (aka the East Hardwick Grange across the street from the church in E. Hardwick) THIS SATURDAY -- March 14th.

Potluck infusion treatment begins at 5:30. Right hand stars and Gypsies will be served beginning at 6:30. All for $7 a person. Bring family members and they pay only $4.

If you think this is all too good to be true, would you believe that at no extra charge we'll throw in dance instructions and professional calling by Lausanne Allen of Starksboro? Not only that, but live amazing music by local hero American Toad to boot.

Don't believe me? Watch for the posters around town, check the calendar in the Gazette, peruse the Facebook Fan Page or call me at 472-5584. Watch out, though, doubters are quickly transformed into volunteers.
