EFS Contra Dances this Month

Help us celebrate The Eugene Folklore Society's 30th aniversary!!!  Noon to Midnight!  Three great bands, three great callers, plus Scandinavian dancing and lots and lots of fun.  And it's called "Dance A Little Longer..."

The event will be held at our regular place: Cesar Chavez School at 14th and Chambers. Beginning at noon, each band and caller will play for 3 1/2 hours, with a 45 minute break between sets. And there will be Scandinavian dancing with live music during the breaks. This will be quite a day:

noon to 3:30		Jigsaw from Portland with David Kaynor from Massachusetts calling
3:30 to 4:15		Break, Scandinavian Dancing David Kaynor will play Scandinavian tunes for your dancing pleasure
4:15 to 7:45		The Nettles from Corvallis with Laura Me Smith from Seattle calling
7:45 to 8:30		Break
8:30 to midnight		KGB from Seattle with Woody Lane from Roseburg calling

Dancing begins at noon and ends at midnight.  Lots of time for great music, great dancing, and lots of fun.  This will be an event to remember!

There will be a finger-food potluck throughout the day at the hall, and everyone is encouraged to bring goodies.  Parking will be easy and available.  Housing will also be available for out-of-town guests.

The costs are quite reasonable:
$20 at the door for EFS members, and also for members of other folklore societies including CDSS.
$22 for Non-Members.
$15 for students who show their student IDs.
