5:30-6:30 Dinner Cafe with Slight Chance of Reels

The group Slight Chance of Reels plays for family dances and at community events. Their music is a mix of Old Time, Irish, Contradance and Quebecois traditions.

Playing at the Maker’s Cafe will be Paul Tabor, Ellen Smith, Pat Cannon, Al and Marlene Sinyard. 

These folks have played together for over 20 years, meeting a couple times a month for homemade soup and bread with a gracious open door for players and knitters hosted by Kay Mann and Harold Coryell for at least a decade!
