It's a great American tradition to celebrate the building of a new barn with a dance. In honor of this tradition, we'll mark the restoration of the Shepherd Barn with a contra dance. Steve Howland will call a variety of circle, square and contra dances, and the band will feature long-time valley contra dance musicians: Annika Amstutz and George Wilson on fiddles, Becky Hollingsworth on piano, and Joe Blumenthal on bass. 
 
All dances will be taught; no partner is necessary to come. All ages and experience levels welcome!
 
If the weather is good, additional registrations will be accepted on the night of the event for outdoor dancing.
