Built in 1933 and restored in 2003, the art deco style ballroom has a wonderful, 7,700 SF sprung maple floor which can easily handle 6 lines of contradancers. Contrastock 2 was an all day contra dance event held with three great bands ("Wild Asparagus," "Perpetual e-Motion" & "Elixir") and three great callers (Nils Fredland, George Marshall and Will Mentor). This was the fourth or fifth dance of the last (combined band) set. Even after 8 hours of dancing, we still had four lines of dancers. What a Wonderful Great Day of dancing!
