We are Appalachian Wireless. For the first time since 2019, the Snowbird Square Dance will be returning to the Cowan Community Center. The dance will feature a live band and caller, a cake walk and free soup, dinner and dessert. It's been a part of Cowan Community Center tradition for its 50-year history to have square dances and offer that to the community as a way to come together and meet neighbors and join together in a joyful way and the good that comes from that. So we were glad to bring that back and have this opportunity here. The event is open to all ages and skill levels and kids 18 and under will be admitted free. The cake walk will be $1 to participate and door entrance will be $5 to those over 18. Cowan has had a rich history of square dance and particularly folk dance. A lot of people my age spent Saturday nights there. It was a family gathering spot. It was opportunity that was not exclusive for just children or just adults. There was room for everybody to fit in and we liked that idea and hope that families in our community and surrounding communities will join back in with that. The dance will be held from five to 9 p.m. Saturday, January 14th. For more information, visit Cowan Community Center on Facebook. Reporting for Mountaintop News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
