Susan Werner outside at Unicorn Theater, Stockbridge MA ~ 7:00 pm ET ~ http://susanwerner.com/tour/
Contra Dance (with a bit of English Country Dance) in Newmarket NH ~ 6pm EDT ~ Note from Dave Bateman:
I am going to host a contra dance (with a touch of English) for FULLY
VACCINATED dancers Alternating Fridays; 4 & 18 June at 6PM EDT at the
Great Island Common in New Castle NH Anticipating to continue on odd Fridays
in July (there are 5 of them).
I suggest that you arrive early with a picnic meal for yourselves &socialize
before the dance starts at 6. The park entrance is off Wentworth Road, near the public library.
Please attend only if fully vaccinated . We will be outdoors, dancing
on the grass to recorded music.
The exact location will be determined in real time, The park is open to the
public so we have to adapt to the available space. The planned location is
either at the south end on the volleyball space (if they do not put up the
net and the area is not reserved.) Or in the center at the top of the small
hill.
However, we need to be flexible since our space will not be reserved.
Of course it is weather dependent. Please bring hand sanitizer, folding chairs, a picnic snack for
yourself. We may be able to use picnic tables if they are not reserved. There is a $10 charge per car for entry into the park ($5 if a senior is driving).
NO charge for the dance; however, I recommend donations to NEFFA, CDSS or
other folk organizations to help support the musicians. It may be cool next to the ocean so dress appropriately. Do not bring
your dancing shoes Any questions? contact Dave Bateman at NHECDS@comcast.net

Falcon Ridge Folk Festival
Our ONE DAY OUTDOOR hybrid event will feature 7-8 performers & 1-2 stages, no dance component, dance cannot come back yet. New location in Goshen CT. At the Goshen Fairgrounds. We will not do a FAMILY STAGE or ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS AREA, nothing interactive like that, there will be wonderful food & crafts as always just not as many. If it turns out we CANNOT have an in person audience, the plan is to have the performers do an onsite performance & tape it.
We will not hold our EMERGING ARTIST SHOWCASE either but plan to do an ONLINE SHOWCASE event instead. More info on that coming.
Rather than give you a list of MAYBES, IFS, ANDS or BUTS that could change as we move forward, we'll publish more details on things like tix sales, prices, precautions & procedures as soon as we can. For now, please save the date and stay tuned… https://falconridgefolk.com/
