October 10th - Saturday: SLOW JAM (Second Saturday) I'm sorry to say that there will be no slow jam this month as i need to be somewhere else at
this time playing music.

October 17th: Saturday: CONTRA DANCE with music by Loose Palouse and calling by Nora Scott, at the 1912 Center (Corner of 3rd St and Van Buren in Moscow). 7:30 PM.

Two dances this month! Ain't we fortunate. This first dance we'll be grooving to the music of Loose Palouse and the calling of Nora Scott. This band features the expert hammered dulcimer playing of Lawrence Huntley, Rita McAdoo's lively fiddle, the guitar and bouzouki playing of David Christian and Daniel Green holding down the low end on bass. Nora will make the trip down from Spokane with her collection of fun dances. Great tunes and great dancing! See you there!

October 31st: Saturday: HALLOWEEN CONTRA DANCE with music by the Acrasians and calling by Pat Blatter, at the 1912 Center (Corner of 3rd St and Van Buren in Moscow). 7:30 PM.

The Halloween dance is always one of our favorite dances during the year. Here’s our chance to dress up and whoop it up! We’re in for a treat as this band and caller make their way to Moscow all the way from Boise. The Acrasians are currently a 5-piece band and feature Tim Sommer on guitar, Monica Pollard on piano, and Ken Pollard, Barb Clickner and Lea Ann Bateman King on fiddles. They play a delightful mix of Scottish and American folk music. They are regulars at the Boise Contra Dance Society dances and they'll be joined by caller Pat Blatter, who is also a regular at the Boise dances. By way of expanding our vocabulary, Acrasia: the state of mind in which one behaves contrary to their own better judgment, possibly through a weakness of will. Socrates thought such behavior was impossible. Some of us have found it is not. We’ll be doing photos again during the mid-dance break. So plan to come on out and join us!
