Hi,

Happy end of summer! Time to put away the white shoes and …..

come back to the Barn for dancing!

Fermilab's International Folk Dancing will return to the Barn starting next Thursday, Sept. 4 (tonight we're still in the cooler Auditorium). Hope you'll come out to join us for dances from many lands.

Or, if you want to try English country dancing, our usual Sunday meeting is this week, but in the evening, at 7 p.m., Aug. 31, at Fermilab's Kuhn Village Barn, starting at 7 p.m.

We're holding English country dance exceptionally in the evening because of the Fox Valley Folk Festival, which takes place on Island Park in Geneva during the day both Sunday and Monday (They have a Barn dance there early Sunday evening as well.). On Monday you can enjoy some more English country dancing there in the Pavilion at 3 p.m. with our own new band "Old Fezziwig's Band." I'll also be teaching Scandinavian dance on Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m., to the tunes of Chicago Spelmanslag. And there's much more at the Festival to enjoy. You can find out more about the Festival and get schedules for it at www.foxvalleyfolk.com

The Chicago Area Folk Dance Scene update for 2008-9 is out, and will soon (not quite yet) be available online at http://members.aol.com/fdccpub/ or in PDF format at http://www.fnal.gov/orgs/folkdance/. Or let me know and I can email or snail mail you a copy.

Happy dancing!

Mady
