Don't be shy! Our dance caller teaches the move of each dance, so everyone- newbies and dancers of other styles alike- will all have great fun! So bring a dance partner, bring a group, or just bring yourself! Even i you don't want to dance, you can just enjoy the music, fun and yummy BBQ!
Why the fundraiser: In 1879 Levi and Alanson Valentine build this 4-story shopping mall and community center. The landmark building is on the National Historic Register and this 19th century architecture remains almost unaltered. The inside remains much as when originally built: general store, meeting room, bakery, harness shop, cobblers shop, music school, grange meeting room, railroad/trolly/telegraph office an Grand Ballroom.
Now the 135 year old siding is in serious need of repairs. The poor state of the siding is endangering the outside and inside of the building, birds are even getting into the building through the holes in the siding. The siding is the most important element to keep the building standing, and repairs are going to be extraordinarily costly.
The 13 acre property is 100% run an maintained by unpaid volunteer staff who lovingly dedicate their personal time and labor. The museum is not support financially the their town. ALL Funding relies on the genersity of donors, members, occasional grants, volunteer efforts, and tour fees and tips collected from visitors.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about our event, we hope to see you there!
