Hard Times Dance Party
In a nod to the past, the Kelley House Museum is hosting a Hard Times Dance Party at Mendocinos Crown Hall on Saturday night, October 7, from 8-11:30 p.m. Dance away Hard Times with the rock, blues and funky boogie music of the Mighty T-Bones. Full bar will be available.

Hard Times Dances achieved peak popularity between the Panic of 1893 and the Stock Market Crash of 1929. They gave evidence of an emerging urban middle class with time and money to spare. Inspired by Civil War-era Calico Balls that raised money for soldiers and wartime widows, a Hard Times Dance is part fun and part fundraiser.  In lieu of expensive silks and satins, women wore dresses made of cheap cotton calico, the idea being that the money saved could instead be donated to exemplify ideals such as kindness and wartime austerity.

Come as you are, but be sure to come to the Hard Times Dance Party, a benefit for the non-profit Kelley House Museum.

Sponsored by KOZT The Coast, Harvest Market, North Coast Brewing, Frey Vineyards, and Husch Vineyards
