Historic Lyme Village and the Bellevue Historical Society are working together to sponsor a Harvest Barn Dance on Saturday, September 30, 2017, from 6 to 10 p.m.

The dance floor will be in Lyme Village’s newest ‘old’ building, the Schaefer Barn.   Area residents are invited for an evening of fun, food, dancing, and weather permitting and a bonfire singalong.

Join us for square dancing (with a short dance ‘class’ for all who would like to learn the steps), line dancing, two-step, and more, maybe even a chicken dance.  Cider, soft drinks, and a light meal will be available. 

Doors open at 6:00pm for a social hour; dancing begins at 7:00pm; and the evening will close with a singalong.

Admission is $10 per person for this old-fashioned Saturday night dance party, co-hosted by Historic Lyme Village and the Bellevue Historical Society.  Tickets are available at the Lyme Village Gift Shop, Hunter’s Needs, and from Board members of both organizations.

What is #GivingTuesday?

Giving Tuesday is held on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It follows immediately after Cyber Monday, the day dedicated to online sales and discounts to kickoff the Christmas selling season.
Giving Tuesday is a global day of celebration dedicated to helping others through the gift of a donation, your time, goods and your voice.
The #GivingTuesday movement counterbalances the increasing commercialization around the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Giving Tuesday has been praised as an antidote to consumer culture and as a way for people to give back.
