Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. for another 6th grade dance party on Friday, March 12 at Blackburn Hall. The night will include many old favorites for the kids, but there are new things for them to look forward to doing. DJ Luke Dent will be cranking out the latest favorite hits of the day, there will be air hockey, Wii and snacks. New items include the Super-Slushie Machine and the Karaoke Corner plus Surprise Games!
If a child, parent, or guardian has any suggestions of things they would like the Walpole Recreation Department to incorporate into the dances, they may email Aicha Kelley. If the child hasn’t registered for a dance card yet, they should go to the Recreation Department with a parent or guardian and fill out an application and agreeing to comply with all dance rules. The dances are $5.
Along with these programs there are hundreds of opportunities for all ages in the winter brochure at www.walpolerec.com or the new website www.blackburnhall.org. If you have any questions regarding any programs or have ideas for new ones, please feel free to contact the staff at 508-660-6353.
The Walpole Arts & History Committee is hosting its 4th Annual Family Irish Night for families and friends to come and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on Thursday, March 18 from 6:00 – 8:00PM at Blackburn Hall.
As always, Harney’s Academy of Irish Dance will be taking center stage. The dancers will be adorned in their elaborately brocaded costumes and hairstyles to dance the night away to the delight of the crowds.
Along with the dancers’ talents, Jack Glennon & the Irish FOGS will be playing traditional Irish songs. Jack is a well-known and well-loved performer whose popularity & personality are contagious. You have probably seen him perform at the Walpole “Concerts on the Common” series.
As if that wasn’t enough, there will be raffles to win a complete Corned Beef Dinner with all of the fixin’s and more goodies. There will also be Irish artifacts on display.
