The Tehacahpi Fall Contra Dance will be at the West Park Activity Center this Friday night.  These dances, the closest you can come to an old-fashioned Barn Dance, have been held about every three months for the last two years.  This dance is free, though contributions will be accected.

We do circle dances, reels, and contradances. They are fun; they are perfect for everyone in the family. All dances are taught, and the caller continues to call the moves as long as needed. The moves are the same simple moves you learned as a kid, the dances are simple, but as the live music quickens, the dances become more exciting than you would ever expect. As a town we are learning to dance better; the contras are growing more complex. If you have not been before, do come. Come as a single, a couple, a family. You will have fun! 

Of course the September Dance is sponsored by the Old Time Fiddlers and is part of their Fiddle Contest.  If you come early, you can listen to fiddling, and eat dinner  (provided this year by Jake's Steakhouse) or ice cream and pie.
