Thanks Linda. I remember attending it several years ago, and I am at work now so I could not look it up in my copy of the past years schedules. Thanks for pointing Chrissy in the right direction (and me too!). But I do remember the session I attended as being presented by a woman - I can't recall her name, and maybe she was a sub or something. Or. maybe I am just having a "senior moment".

It has occurred every year for the last 4 or 5 years, and will happen again this Festival. It is called Seated Squares. Fred Wersan and the Assabet Ramblers present the dance. You can look up Fred's email information at the NEFFA website. I am sure that he would respond to individuals who get in touch with him.
