PROGRAMMING & EVENTS

Come hungry, come dancing, come one and come all, we’re bringing a little old-fashioned fun back to the Union Meeting Hall!

Join the Friends of the Union Meeting Hall on Sunday, September 13th at 4:30 PM for a fall evening filled with good food, live music, plenty of laughs, and a little do-si-do, all while supporting the continued rehabilitation of this special piece of Ferrisburgh history.

We’ll start the evening with delicious food available for purchase from Meat Mafia. Then dinner winds down, the music begins, and just like years ago, the Union Meeting Hall will be filled with dancing once again. Want some delicious bites but don’t want to dance? That’s ok too! Tickets aren’t needed to swing on by the Union Meeting Hall to order some food to go.

Patchy Valley Fog featuring JoJo Boesenberg, James Quinlan and Ariel Bolles with caller Don Stratton will provide the tunes and lead us through an old-fashioned square dance. Never square danced before? Even better! No experience is needed, just bring your willingness to give it a try. Dance every song, learn as you go, or grab a seat and enjoy the music and the fun.

Space in the Hall is limited, so advance tickets are encouraged. Tickets are $15 per adult and children (0-12) are entry by donation, which can be paid at the door. Every ticket helps us continue the work of preserving the Union Meeting Hall, not just as a historic building, but as a place where our community can still gather, celebrate, laugh, dance, and make a little history of our own.

Some of the most beautiful moments in life—the ones we immediately know are special—tend to defy explanation.

We've all had magical, magnificent experiences that challenge the boundaries of what we believe is possible. More often than not, when faced with such improbable beauty, we are forced to choose between two worlds: one that is full of magic and one devoid of it. There is rarely room for both in the narratives that prevail over our culture.

My Dentist's Son is a place for stories that don't fit. A space where we can share the mystical experiences we are graced with—big or small—and have them held and anchored in community. A space where these cherished moments are met with acceptance, awe, respect, and gratitude.

If you have a story you'd like to share, or are eager to be in the company of those who do, we welcome you. Join us as we remind each other just how magical this world really is.

My Dentist's Son is Sunday, March 15th from 3pm-430pm at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall located at 3279 Route 7 in Ferrisburgh.
