Schedule of Events:
- Silent Auction: 4-H Clubs across the county put together their own baskets and collect donations for the Silent Auction. We will take online bids through our Facebook page from May 13-16th, the event will open for in-person bids on May 17th from 5-8:30pm
- Fifth Reel Contra Dance– Music begins at 6pm!
“When Fifth Reel performs in downtown Grand Junction, dancers twirl, stomp and move to similar steps and music that our founding fathers and mothers enjoyed 200 years ago […] It’s not necessary to come with a partner or have experience. Contra is a social dance where couples form and are encouraged to switch partners throughout the evening.”
Sharon Sullivan, “I’d Rather Dance: Old-Time Contra Dances Still Serenade Downtown Grand Junction,” Spoke + Blossom, Winter 2020 Issue
- Raffle– We will do drawings throughout the evening for SEVEN (7) different prizes! 4-H Members will sell tickets up until 5pm on May 17th
