LIVERMORE — The Washburn-Norlands Living History Center will host its 19th-century New England Full Moon Fling on Saturday, Oct. 15, at 290 Norlands Road.

The evening will begin at 6 p.m. in the meetinghouse with Teachers Lounge Mafia, a local improvisational comedy group of which many members are teachers in local school districts. The group performs interactive games similar to those popularized on TV’s “Whose Line Is It, Anyway?” No two shows are ever alike.

A barn dance will begin at 7:30 p.m., the first since the fire that destroyed the barn. It will feature the Racket Factory, and celebrates the not-quite-finished new barn. The Racket Factory is based in western Maine with decades of musical experience playing traditional acoustic music. Kenlyn Clark will be the caller for the dance.

Refreshments at the dance will include hot chocolate, coffee and pumpkin marshmallow s’mores, made with a variety of Norlands-inspired cookies by Saveypen Sangsevang, sous chef of the Norway Brewing Co. in Norway.

Many artisans and vendors have donated items that will be raffled off. Local pottery, handmade soaps, fresh apples, homemade chocolates, and a planter are just a few of the items. Raffle tickets are $1 each, six for $5, or 15 for $10. Ticket holders do not need to be present to win.

Visitors are encouraged to dress in 19th-century period attire.

Tickets are $15 for both the comedy show and dance. Tickets for the dance or for the improv show individually are $10; children age 12 and younger are free. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at www.norlands.org/events.

The money raised from the evening will go toward finishing the barn, which was destroyed in a fire in 2008.
