Hey, many of us are about ready try anything to bring it on…so, why not the 5th Annual Northfield Earth Day Contra Dance.  No contra dance experience needed, free lessons provided from 7:00 to 7:30, or just come to enjoy the fun and listen to great music.  We’re preserving the wood floor in the West Gym, so bring soft-soled, non-marking shoes or sneakers, or dance in your bare feet.  Hey, if that doesn’t work to bring on the Spring, next weekend we’ll try dancing naked around a fire.
