In August of 2006, in the Chassell Heritage Center, local international folk dancers helped visitors learn traditional French Canadian dances to the music of the group of singers and musicians now known as Maple Sugar Folk. They will perform here again from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30.

Singing, dancing and fiddling by local performers offer you a taste of some of the cultural traditions brought to our area by French Canadian settlers. Start "warming up" to celebrate the French-Canadian "Festival Joie de Vivre" to take place in Chassell at this time next year!
The audience will be invited to sing along on the chansons à répondre, and Hester Butler will teach traditional folk dances accompanied by live music.
