Hi Folks - a reminder about tonight's dance and also sharing info about a remembrance event for Jack O'Connor coming up between Monday dances.

Tonight we'll have Hannah Johlas calling with the music of Here on the Hill, whose bio states:

"Here on the Hill is a dynamic contra trio from Boston featuring Tory Horner, Annie McDougall, and Rosemary Powell. With Tory and Annie's soaring fiddles and Rose's driving guitar, the trio brings a mix of classic New England contra tunes, modern gems, and original tunes to dance floors across the Northeast. Since meeting in the fall of 2024, they have been playing as many dances as they can, and are currently preparing for Fall tours of Upstate New York and the Mid Atlantic."

That plus the glorious dancing weather should hopefully inspire you to come on out tonight!

Also, there is a special Jack O'Connor remembrance event coming up at the Concord Scout House on Sunday, September 14th from 6:30-10pm. The event will feature recollections and information sharing about Jack, some light food/potluck, plus music and dancing to callers and musicians who worked with Jack over the years. Attendance is open and donations to the Scout House in memory of Jack are welcome.
