Homegrown Contraband is playing and Sue Hendrix is calling this Saturday (10/13) from 1:30-2:30 pm in Davison as part of their Pumpkin Festival. We will be focusing on families with small children so expect a couple of circle dances and a Virginia Reel type “down the middle” dance. Any contra dancers in the area feel free to stop by to help or at least say hi. We’ll be on Main Street in front of the United Methodist Church near the corner of east Third Street.
