The Whiffletree duo will play a midsummer contra dance Saturday, July 23 starting at 8 p.m. at Simonton Corner Hall, corner of Park and Main streets.  Sarah Smith of Waldoboro and Salem, Mass., is the caller.

Whiffletree’s Seth and Tyler Yentes, brothers from Monroe, have been playing stringed instruments since childhood. A whiffletree is a horse-drawn farm term for the crossbar between harnesses of a team.

Dancers of all ages and abilities are welcome, and no partner or experience is necessary. Admission is $8. Children are admitted free, and free snacks are provided. All dances are taught.
