Sunday, February 13 at 2 p.m. – Sprightly Steps: Vermont’s Contra and Square
Dancing Tradition. Join Adam Boyce for this combination of live fiddling and
lecture. Although early settlers frowned upon the merriment of dancing and
fiddle playing as the “works of the devil”’ the tradition found its way to
the Green Mountains. At fancy balls and cotillions, or kitchen junkets or
“tunks”, people of all ages and backgrounds fell victim to the strains of
the fiddle upon their souls. Changes in culture and music have made old time
music nearly extinct, but a few practitioners are keeping the old styles
alive. At the Jaquith Public Library in the Old Schoolhouse Common in
Marshfield. For more information call 426-3581 or e-mail us at:
