Location: |
523 1/2 Main Street Downtown Grand Junction |
Details: |
English country dance is a simple and beautiful community dance genre that takes us back more than two centuries. The graceful figures are easy to learn, most are danced at a stately pace, and emphasize the elegance of times they reflect. The live music, similarly stylish, flows as closely with the dancer’s movements today as it did in the country manors and ballrooms of 17th and 18th century England. Ron Young will teach and lead the dances and Fifth Reel will provide the period music. Click here for the event website |

GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER (1967)
KAFM Classic Film Series
7:00pm-9:00pm, 1310 Ute Avenue
This 1967 Classic that breezily presents the question of Interracial marriage and resoundingly supports it because love ""knows no
more...0
race"" was a huge hit in the late 60's. It holds up well today even if racial tensions have improved since it's release, it is important to reflect that it wasn't that long ago that interracial marriage was illegal in many states. When Joanna Drayton (Katharine Houghton), a free-thinking white woman, and black doctor John Prentice (Sidney Poitier) become engaged, they travel to San Francisco to meet her parents. Matt Drayton (Spencer Tracy) and his wife Christina (Katharine Hepburn) are wealthy liberals who must confront the latent racism the coming marriage arouses. Also attending the Draytons' dinner are Prentice's parents (Roy E. Glenn Sr., Beah Richards), who vehemently disapprove of the relationship. Join us and see the last film that Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy made together. Directed by Stanley Kramer Tickets are $5 and Doors open at 6:30. Sponsored by High Noon Solar

health effects worse than cigarette smoking. Touch releases oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, the neurotransmitters responsible for decreased blood pressure, slower aging, increased digestion, a boosted immune system, and best of all, feelings of belonging and peace—with no side effects! Through a series of safe and enjoyable exercises, you’ll be guided to deeper levels of giving and receiving powerfully healthy platonic touch.
