February 8th and 22nd -Saturdays: SLOW JAMS (Second and fourth Saturdays) from 1-3 PM 314 East Second St. attic (up the long driveway and up the back stairs.) For any interested folk musicians All experience levels welcome, including raw beginners. We may go over a piece more than once.

Bring music or chords if you have them and share a little of what you are working on. There will not be an audience. We just go round in a circle picking a favorite tune, and others try to join in. Perfection not even considered! Come join us.

February 15th: Saturday: COMMUNITY CONTRA DANCE with music by Potatohead and calling by Susan Dankovich, at the 1912 Center (Corner of 3rd St and Van Buren in Moscow). 7:30 PM.

Wow, twice in one winter we get to dance to the awesome Irish music of Potatohead. Ain't we lucky. And this time around we get to dance to the calling of Susan Dankovich. It’s been a while since she's been down to call for us, so this is an added treat. We'll do our best to steam up the 1912 center with some lively dancing. With John Watkinson and Lisa O’Leary on whistles and hammered dulcimer, respectively, Paul Smith’s wonderful fiddle playing, and Dave Roon on flute and bouzouki, we’re in for a good time. It'll be the day after Valentine’s Day, so bring a friend along with you. It doesn't even have to be a sweetheart. We’ll see you there!

Beginner? No problem- Arrive at 7:30 and there are free lessons.

No Partner? No worry. There are lots of dancers - many would like to dance with you. All dances are taught. Singles, families & beginners are always welcome. Children are always FREE

Free dance lessons at 7:30, 8-10:30 Dance Admission: $6 for members, $8 for non-members and new dancers get in for $5
