Grange Notes by Tim Swartz, December 27, 2017
New Year’s Eve brings a new look to the Grange Hall and the Contra Dance
It’s the first time since 2011, and it won’t happen again until2022. December 31st, 2016 happens on a Saturday–and of course it is a 5th Saturday, so you can dance until next year at the CDU dance. For many years, the CDU has brought dancing and fun and special events to the Grange Hall; this year we’ll have extra dancing, and extrafood and extra special effects for this extra-special 5th Saturday Contra Dance.
Nils Fredland and Frost and Fire will provide dance calling and music, lasting until midnight by special arrangement. We’ll have a dessert potluck to share sweet and savory treats…and for the last hour, we’ll have disco ball dancing to put some extra sparkle in your evening. At midnight, we will give you our take on a ball drop, a lot like Times Square–but not exactly. It’s not exactly a traditional contra dance look either…but it’s fun!
All this is being put on by the Contra Dance Umbrella, and will cost no more than the usual admission–$9.00 per adult, $5.00 for dancers 15 & under. It’s a chance to strut your stuff to great live music from a great band, with dances called by a great caller, at a great local hall, with great, friendly dancers!
We sure hope you will bring a friend to this extra-special community dance party. Our welcoming dance community is always happy to have new dancers, and it’s a great way to have fun with your friend(s)!
The music and dancing start at 8:00 PM, and go past midnight!
