Bridgton dances

BRIDGTON – For the next three months there will be a series of potluck suppers followed by informal dances at Bridgton’s Town Hall on Saturday nights. “While Town Hall isn’t exactly Carnegie Hall, there will be plenty of opportunities for area groups to perform during these community events,” said George Bradt. There will be two 15-minute periods for performances during the three-hour period. Groups interesting in performing may call Bradt at 647-2389 or send e-mail to [email protected] to give details. If a group is chosen to perform, the organizers of the dances will highlight the group’s appearance in several ways.
