Community Dance to Celebrate Bethel Library Founder’s Day
Everyone is invited to the Community Dance in celebration of the Bethel Public Library’s Founder on Friday September 8. Come to the Bethel Municipal Center, General Purpose Room, 1 School Street, 7:00-8:30 pm, for music, dancing, socializing, and refreshments. Enjoy the lively traditional tunes of Patricia Campbell and The Reel Thing musicians. No dance experience is necessary because each set has a “walk-through” so that everyone can follow Patricia’s call when the music starts! Grown-up couples and singles, as well as youngsters 7 years and older with a parent or adult guardian, will have a great time at this special event! Wear comfortable shoes. Light refreshments will be offered.
Join us for an evening of fun, family, and friends. The event is free, but registration is required due to capacity limits.
