Roma Lavadeure had some also a place on the Westford -Milton rd. caution though, just because the dance is dry the parking lot can be very wet.
  as for riding horses on the walking paths this depends on  the paths costruction because someone running horses could bring up chunks of mud which would dry
out to dirt balls and then they would be a hazard to streaking wrinkled wrangers like Henry and I, also we bruise and bleed easily. now please do not try to envision this because you'll get eye burnout.

Just as an FYI- Friends of Fletcher Elementary (FOFE) received a grant last year from Lowe's and we have an ice rink available for use as well.  This rink is very similar to Westfords.  It is maintain by volunteers from the community.  We currently have no lights but we are working on that for the future. It is located at Fletcher Elementary to the left of the school on the soccer fields. 

And a BIG thank you to the Fairfax Fire Department for helping us fill it up!

Regarding Community Dance...
I have done a little research and found that all the Barn dances are contra dances ( country line dancing or square dancing). My idea was a little different....I was thinking of traditional dancing. We wouldn't need a Barn....but it does set the mood.
Have there been community dances here in the past? 

If you like contra dancing,I found plenty of places where people meet every week. For a small fee, there is a 1/2 hour instruction,and the next 2 1/2 hours is dancing.

( If you build it, they will come)...Let's Dance!

Check out the next First Friday at the school--it is Feb 10th.  There you will hear many young and talented musicians.  A cross between a talent show and a coffee house.  It's a lot of fun.

many years ago when Henry was a man about town , he was chairman of the church bazaar they would close off main street in front of Aldermans and Parson's stores and have a street dance.
barn dance used to be both slow and square about 60% slow and 40% square at least thats what I recall of the one in Milton

This summer the Fairfax Community Library and Fairfax Park & Rec are putting on another 6 week outdoor concert series!  We will be bringing in 6 great groups/musicians with different types and styles of music in the evenings.  It is a great community event and allows an opportunity to hear great bands without traveling to go to their shows!  Keep an eye out for more details as the summer gets closer.

Yes Ice rink!! I'm all over it. I would like to see it. I believe I have a way to get volunteers to build it if we can get the supplies. I heard a rumor that Chris Santee had some information on materials to get this going. Don't know that or sure but I'm willing to see what we can do for next winter. Just wondering where would we put it?

Thanks

No  Henry, it was at Jake's barn in Huntington.  Spend many a Saturday night at the Hen House.  What a great place that was.  Couldn't wait for the3 square dance "Kiss in the moonlight".

This sounds like fun, but I can't seem to find any more information about it. Does anyone know where and what time is this usually held?
