CUSHING — A New England Barn Dance will be held Saturday, July 19, from 4 - 7 p.m., at Arts In The Barn.

"We invite people of all ages to partake in the aerobic and fun dance form that is hundreds of years old," said Cushing Historical Society, in a news release. "Our event will feature a live caller and band, ensuring an authentic and engaging experience for everyone."

Each dance will be taught before the music starts, so no prior experience is needed. Chrissy Fowler is the caller, John Pranio on fiddle, Glen Loper on mandolin and banjo, and Toki Oshima on guitar.

Address: 17 Hathorne Point Road, Cushing, Maine 04563

Admission fee: a sliding scale of $15 to $25 for adults, kids up to 16 years old will be free. Bring finger foods and non alcoholic beverages for the buffet table.
