The sounds of more than 100 folks whooping, clapping and dancing to lively folk music filled the Clydesdale Barn at the 108 Heritage Site on Oct. 10.

A Family Barn Dance event featured music from the Front Porch Bluegrass Band and friends and raised $1,000 for the 100 Mile & District Historical Society.

The sold-out crowd looked to be having had a great time and enjoyed the music, says Front Porch band member Len Aune.

“The band did a great job. I called a couple of Virginia reels, which went over very well.”

Historical Society president Ulli Vogler says the funds are much appreciated.

The money was used to help with the Halloween celebration for families at the 108 Heritage Site on Oct. 31.
