From info at syracusecountrydancers.org Wed Nov 5 13:05:17 2008 From: info at syracusecountrydancers.org (David Smukler) Date: Wed, 05 Nov 2008 13:05:17 -0500 Subject: [syr-contra-news] Upcoming Schedule Message-ID: As always, feel free to scroll down past my announcements to get to our schedule information. We had a fantastic time at the 11th annual Phylla Mae Fall Fest a couple of weeks ago. If you missed it, don't despair. We've got plans for all sorts of special events over the next months, and there's always next year.... On the schedule below, please note that there are TWO opportunities to dance to our favorite local brother and brother dance music wonder team: Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand. They will be providing music for Sarah VanNorstrand's excellent calling on November 15, and then returning as part of their incredible band, the Great Bear Trio on December 20. A spring callers gathering and a contra prom are also in the planning stages. Stay tuned for more info about those events as they begin to take shape. Our friend Kristin Curtis wants you to know that you'd be very welcome at a dance in Cazenovia this Saturday. David Smukler is calling, and the band is Eileen Nicholson, Laurel Sharp and John Wobus. Kristin writes: "It's a first at our church...Nov 8th at the Presbyterian church in Caz...7:30-9:30 with David Smukler and team...we are so looking forward to it. Would LOVE to have folks that know what they are doing on the floor join us as well!" Also, Kathy Kellish and Rick Harding are very excited about hosting dances at their beautiful barn in Manlius, NY. There was a great Halloween dance there last week, and we are holding our next English country dance there as well (December 6). Please come and check it out! Kathy and Rick are planning to have dancing there at least once a month. The Kellish Farms website is at . That's all for now. Our website will link you to many other dances in CNY, including the weekly Thursday night dance in Rochester, weekly Friday night dance in Ithaca, twice a month English dance on Sunday evenings, also in Rochester, and many more. ==================== Below is our upcoming schedule through the rest of 2008.
