"Julie & Julia" Movie Showing at Putney Library

The Real to Reel Women Film series is happy to present a showing of the film, “Julie & Julia,” at the Putney Public Library on Wednesday, May 29, starting at 7:00 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

The Real to Reel Women Film series is a new project initiated by an informal group of Putney women. The purpose of the series is to show high-quality movies that are made by women and that present women in positive ways. Though women have been making movies for decades, the vast majority of movies produced and distributed by the major studios are made by men. As a result, the thousands of exceptional films that run the full gamut from comedy to powerful drama are rarely, if ever, seen by the public.

Peter Amidon and Jokers Wild--Contradance Sat. May 25 at Pierce's Hall in East Putney

This Saturday, May 25, the East Putney Contra Dance at Pierce's Hall is bridging the generations, pairing one of the region's most celebrated and accomplished callers with the youth band that grownups are raving about.

Our caller will be Peter Amidon, who for the past twenty years has dedicated himself to traditional song, dance and storytelling. Renowned for his teaching, Peter is a familiar face at the major northeast U.S. music and dance festivals, at teacher conferences, and at summer folk camps of traditional dance and song. He last appeared at Pierce's Hall anchoring the packed fundraising dance that helped make the hall's new roof possible. Learn more at http://www.amidonmusic.com/home/about-the-amidons
