Come one, come all. The Grange Hall is hosting two rustic yet refined events to celebrate the holidays.

Experience a microcosm trade economy Thurs., Dec. 18 at the Grange. The Barter Fair will begin at 5 p.m.

Bring something special that you made, or would like to trade for something else.

Barter with other participants to leave old treasures behind, and depart with new ones.

Barter crafts, jams, cookies, or services like dog-walking.

Tables will be available for display if needed.

Brighten the inevitably dark December evening at the Grange’s winter solstice party Sat., Dec. 20. A holiday potluck begins at 5:30 p.m. Bring your favorite dish, its recipe, and a story to share.

Wear your dancing shoes because there’s a contra dance that starts at 7 p.m.

This evening’s caller is Betsey Mullen from Everett, and San Juan’s Hometown Band, “The Spuds,” will be plucking those old-time strings.

‘The Spuds’ includes Val White on fiddle, Malcolm Suttles on guitar, Jim Nollman on Mandolin, and Katy Nollman on piano.

All dances are taught and no partner is needed.

For information call 378-7172. A $10 donations is encouraged for the solstice celebration.
