Howdy Folks,
The North Yarmouth Contradance WILL take place at Wescustogo Hall at least this month. But beyond that our fate rests in the hands of the North Yarmouth Board of Selectmen, who will meet & decide our future this coming Tuesday night.
Inspections detections & decisions are ongoing... So:
The family dance will be followed by a finger food potluck & then the regular dance. Could be the last one at Wescustogo Hall ever or only the last one for a while. Regardless lets make it a great one!
I am sure we will hear more so stay tuned...
be well, Jeff
