Come on out and swing your partner at PacJAM’s semi-annual community folk dance event, to be held at Campobello/Gramling School, 250 Fagan Ave., Campobello, on Saturday, March 10.

It’s sure to be a great foot stomping time for the whole family, with delicious dinner fare of Frogmore Stew, half-pound BBQ plate, or hot dogs and sausage dogs with proceeds to benefit FCA-Chapman.

Phil and Gaye Johnson, along with PacJAM’s Melrose Mountain String Band, will entertain you during the dinner hour beginning at 6 p.m. and the dance will start at 7 p.m., taught and called by renowned professional caller, Jennie Wakefield, with live music accompaniment by the popular Blue Ridge Rounders. Beginners are welcomed.
