Playing with Fyre in spite of road closure this Friday!

NOTE: ROAD CLOSURE IN DOWNTOWN DECATUR

This is a heads up about construction going on near the intersection of Church Street and Sycamore Street (at the MARTA station) in downtown Decatur. There are detour signs up. If you follow Commerce Street around to the other side of Sycamore St., that route is open, as is the Dec Rec/Library parking lot.

Estimates say the road closure will continue for another 3 or 4 days.

Hot! Hot! Hot! Playing with Fyre is the electrifying duo of George Paul (piano) and Rob Zisette (fiddle)!

Tampa’s Katie Zanders’ “clear, concise calling” will keep you joyfully on your toes!

Remember: there’s an intro lesson each week starting at 7:30 pm. It’s a great opportunity to bring a friend and introduce them to the magic of contra dancing!

And thank YOU for your support of Atlanta Contra Dance!
