SUMMARY:Community Square Dance
DESCRIPTION:Community square dances are attended by young and old\, couples and singles\, and anyone interested in getting out\, moving\, listening to live music\, and enjoying fellowship with others in the community.  Beginners are welcome\, and all dances are taught. \nWe invite people of all backgrounds and ages to enjoy an oral tradition passed down for hundreds of years. The Hickory Music Factory’s “Old Time String Band” and a dance caller will lead you throughout the evening. We will primarily draw upon the traditional social dances of America. \nJourney into the past and learn square dances\, step dances\, reels\, and other dance forms practiced in Southern Appalachia. These distinctive folk dances are the culmination of the many heritages that settled in this region. Folk dancing today is built on the European\, African American\, and Native American traditions of our past\, but they are very much alive in the present. \nYou can help bring them to life by attending this inter-generational dance. Children must be accompanied by an adult. All ages are welcome\, and no experience is necessary. \nIf you play an instrument and want to experience performing old-time music\, please contact Liam Bailey from the Hickory Music Factory at liam@liamthomasbailey.com.

SUMMARY:Learn Sewing: Market Bag Class
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to make a historical carry-all and the best grocery bag you’ll ever have! This tote style is modeled after the common\, historical “Market Wallet” of the 1600-1800’s. These bags are rectangular with a central opening and can be made by hand or with a machine. \nThis class is perfect for those who have a machine and want to learn how to use the two most common stitches for beginner projects. By making this bag\, you will gain experience with sewing straight seams\, finishing seams\, and top stitching. \nA basic knowledge of hand-sewing is enough to construct this bag without a machine. You can make a historically-accurate market-wallet\, suitable for living history events\, by using a running stitch and backstitch.  The instructor will demonstrate period-correct felled seams\, French seams\, and how to do a narrow “rolled” hem by hand. \nMaterials will be provided to make a historically accurate wallet in linen. If you’d like to make a colorful\, modern version instead\, bring 1-2 yards of 100% cotton quilting fabric or medium-weight linen and matching thread. Again\, while this is a great beginner hand sewing project\, the instructor will have a sewing machine available and participants are welcome to bring their own sewing machine if they wish.
