Kalispell International Folk Dancers, Nov. 14, from 7 to 10 pm, at the Salvation Army gym, 110 Bountiful Drive. For new dancers, easier dances are taught for at least the first hour, with more advanced dancing later in the evening. We ask a $3 donation to pay for the rent of the hall. We had a mellow evening last Saturday and a nice little 85th birthday celebration for Marvin, our inspiration. Also tonight is the annual Rails to Trails contra dance and pie auction fundraiser, starting at 7 p.m. It's at the Smith Valley Grange west of Kalispell on Highway 2 past the blinking light at Spring Creek Road but before the Smith Valley School at Batavia Lane. You'll see all the cars and the little old log hall on the south side of the road. Next Saturday, Nov. 21, our international dance group will take a night off to make way for a night of contra dancing at the Salvation Army gym. Contra dances are normally on the second Saturday of each month, but it's the third Saturday in November to avoid a conflict with the Rails to Trails event. Elsewhere around the state, Cecelia Notess reports the following: Nov 21st Presentation/Dance Party in Butte. We'll dance for desserts and entertain residents at Waterford/Big Sky Living at 2 p.m., followed by Dance Party 3:30 to 6 p.m. at Sacred Ground, 601 West Park Street. First announcement for the annual Steam and Stomp at Boulder Hot Springs, from Bill Bucher in Helena: The date for Steam and Stomp, our annual winter international folk dance at Boulder Hot Springs, is February 20-21, 2010. I will send out details and registration forms in late December, but save the dates for a rollicking good time.
