This weekend's Contra Festival with UChicago Folk Arts Community was a great time!! We danced for two hours in the afternoon, ate some good food, enjoyed a springy green walk on the UChicago campus at sunset, and danced for two more hours. Plus Emma's car made it all the way to Chicago and back!!! No Beloit College vans necessary.
