June 7th dance cancelled. But instead. . .
Due to unforeseen scheduling conflict at Earth House, we can’t dance on Tuesday, June 7th. Instead, everybody (over 18) is invited to meet at MacNiven’s Scottish American Restaurant and Bar at 9 p.m.
MacNiven’s serves both food and beer (wine, spirits, etc.), and everyone, of all ages, is welcome at Indy Contra dances, “MacNiven’s is an Over 18 Only Establishment.”
