"When
people go to a performance of any kind‹music, theater,
or whatever‹they want to be changed. . . We want to
have something shown to us that we didn't know about, or revealed
to us about ourselves." —Judy
Collins
The Heritage Festival is full of performances that will change
you, that'll make you want to sing along, get up and dance,
try something new. Join in a dance workshop: Cajun two-step
or Irish ceili dancing. Learn about the history of traditional
Eastern European music with Gary Sredzienski on the accordion
and Bill Zecker on fiddle. Join the Saturday night dance party
with the Jumbo Circus Peanuts. Listen to history remembered,
stories told by former mill workers. Get inspired by the uplifiting
dance-in-the-aisle music of the Funky Divas of Gospel. 2003
