SQUARE DANCE THIS SATURDAY

MARGARETVILLE — On Saturday, September 20, Catskills Folk Connection is offering a square dance in Margaretville, from 7 to 10 pm at the Margaretville Fire Station, 77 Church Street.  This is the fourth in the organization’s series of square dances this season and will feature the Tremperskill Boys, with John Jacobson and Dane Scudder calling. 

Catskills Folk Connection  is committed to perpetuating the traditional practice of Eastern Square Dancing, as called by the late, legendary Hilt Kelly and his band the Sidekicks. Come take part in a musical recreation that has delighted Catskills residents for generations! 

Beginners are welcome; no partner is necessary, and all dances will be taught. Suggested donation $10 for adults; free for kids 12 and under.  Free refreshments will be available.  To kick off a fundraiser for more dances next month and into the late fall, special activities at Saturday’s dance will include door prizes and a 50/50 drawing.     

For more information, contact Ginny Scheer 607-238-9162 or gscheer.mcs@gmail.com.

Catskills Folk Connection’s square dance programs are funded in part by the O’Connor Foundation, by  Upstate Theater Coalition’s FairGame Arts Grant, by Delaware County Economic Development’s Tourism grants, and by the generous contributions of its mailing list members.
