Contra is American folk dance, a living tradition in which new dances are written all the time using a standard repertoire of moves. It is similar to square dancing, but is danced in two long lines (like English country dance), so that each pair dances with each other pair in one dance. No experience is needed, because there will be a lesson at 7 p.m., and every dance is taught and then "called" throughout by the caller. We practice gender-neutral calling and dance roles. If you can walk, you can dance! Pay what you can ($5 - $20) and wear what you like, with comfortable shoes. Bring a friend or come by yourself -- you'll have a new partner for each dance.

Unstoppable Dogs invites the public for heartwarming day of connection, healing, and hope! Our rescue is dedicated to giving dogs—abuse survivors who’ve endured unimaginable hardship—a second chance at life. These incredible dogs, many living with disabilities caused by their injuries, continue to inspire us with their strength, resilience, and unconditional love. The animals frequently visit elementary schools to teach children about kindness to animals, as well as being regular visitors to elderly homes to brighten the days of the residents. Come • Sit • Heal is a heartfelt therapy program where you spend quiet, restorative time with 16 disabled dogs—each an abuse survivor—whose resilience and unconditional love help people find peace, perspective, and healing.
