Howling good times to support Siskiyou Sled Dog Race

Get your groove on at the “Dancing for the Dogs” contra dance November 15th in Mt. Shasta. This a “fun”draiser for the Siskiyou Sled Dog Race coming up January 22nd-25th. The contra dance and benefit auction will bring people together for a fun evening with contra caller Annie Kramer and the band Highly Paid Professionals.

Contra dancing is described as English Country dancing, similiar to square dancing, but set to Celtic-Irish acoustical music. Don’t worry if you don’t know the steps. Kramer will be walking you through the basic steps and moves in a half hour lesson from 7-7:30pm that evening. Then you’ll be all set burn up the dance floor to Irish jigs, reels and waltzs by the Highly Paid Professionals.

As a fundraiser for the Siskiyou Sled Dog Race, the evening will include a silent and live auction, along with desert, beverage (non-alcoholic) and root beer float sales.  Presale tickets are available at the Woodsman Hotel and Chamber of Commerce in Mt. Shasta, and at Scott Valley Bank offices in Yreka, Mt. Shasta, Weed, Etna and Fort Jones. Tickets will also be sold at the door – $10 for individuals, $15 for couples and $25 for families.
