GUILFORD — Broad Brook Grange will present a benefit supper and contradance on Saturday, Dec. 5, beginning at 5 p.m., at the Grange hall in Guilford Center.
The proceeds will benefit the Clark Farm and a family member who was injured when a rare “microburst” hit the town of Guilford October 29. That day, unusually high wind gusts, brought down the roof under construction on a new dairy barn at the Clark Farm, injuring a family member and carpenter Tom Henry of Guilford.
Saturday's fundraiser will help the Clark Farm, as well as Henry.
The evening begins with supper served from 5 to 7 p.m., which will include homemade chili, spaghetti, breads, salads, dessert (featuring apple crisp), and beverages prepared by Grange and community chefs.
The supper is followed by a 7 p.m. dance, featuring contras and squares, with Fred Breunig, caller and fiddle; Andy Davis, caller, piano, and accordion; and Laurie Indenbaum, fiddle. The dances will be community friendly and all are welcome.
Breunig will be calling some classic southern Vermont squares that he learned from the legendary “Smitty.” Davis will be calling some contras and squares. The evening will also include several waltzes and polkas.
Granges were founded by and to support farm families.
