July 12 – Special Legion Hall Fundraiser Contradance – 8-11pm at the American Legion in Belfast, $10 admission, tasty food for sale. American Legion Post 43 is the venue for the monthly BFS Community Dance and Contras. This fundraiser will support critical structural improvements to the American Legion, including fire code updates and roof repair. Although this fundraiser is not part of our regular series, BFS is supporting the Legion with their special dance. (NB: The community dance with the All-Comers band is on regular first Fridays, and so this is a contradance only.) Come on out and raise money for hall improvements, have a great time with an awesome caller and band, and help the BFS dance series too!
