BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. – Flapper dresses and boater hats are being dug out of the depths of closets or fashioned from thrift store finds as preparations begin for the Roaring Twenties dance Saturday, March 19 to benefit Our Place Drop-in Center.
The Bluebird Orchestra will play at the Walpole Town Hall beginning at 7 p.m., with doors open at 6:30 p.m. Bluebird members Donald Saaf, guitar and vocals, Matthew Sharff, standup bass, and vocals, Rick Contino, pedal steel and banjo, Riley Goodemote, trombone, and Paul McTaggart, drums, have appeared extensively throughout the area.
Tickets at $20 for adults and $15 for students will be on sale at the door. It’s BYOB for adults, with munchies provided.
Prizes will be given for the outfits that best carry out the Roaring Twenties theme of flappers, mobsters, good-time Charlies, Gatsby-esque dudes and other fun-loving characters.
