Nelson Old Home week promises to be as fun and exciting as ever. You can start on Saturday, August 7th, dancing with your friends and neighbors in the Nelson Town Hall. Dudley Laufman is the caller – who better than the man who got his start in Nelson in the 1970′s and went on to make contra dancing popular all over the country (and make Nelson known as the contra dance capital of the world). Dancing starts at 8:00, admission is only $2.00. No experience necessary – come and have fun!
Sunday morning pick a bouquet of flowers from your garden, dress up “old fashioned” (if you wish) and come to the Old Home Sunday service at the Nelson Congregational Church, at 9:30.
