Doors open: 7:45 pm
Square dancing: 8:00-10:00 pm
This is a queer-friendly event. Role-switching is encouraged. The caller may use the terms "ladies" and "gents" to refer to dance roles; these terms are taken to refer to anyone dancing those roles.

BYOB: You may bring beer and wine. No hard alcohol allowed. Bring your water bottles!
