CABOT – The Cabot Community Contra Dance will take place on Friday, Oct. 10, featuring the calling of Don Stratton, and live music by Pam Bockes, Franklin Heyburn, Kenric Kite and David Van Houten. The dance takes place at the Willey Building from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Admission is on a sliding scale, but nobody is turned away for lack of funds.
Bess O’Brien, the Vermont documentary filmmaker, will be at the dance for the first half hour or so to capture some footage for her new film “Every Day: Big and Small.” All participants are welcome to be included in the film or to opt out.
Everyone is welcome; no partner is needed, and families are welcome. Contra dancing is an age-old Vermont tradition. All dances are taught, and the dances are easy to learn, but newcomers are encouraged to arrive at 7 p.m., as the caller will start with the simplest dances.
The Willey Building is located at 3084 Main St.
