VOTE 11/8/24 - 11/18/24

We are excitedly reaching out to you with a great opportunity to help support the work of the Folk School with just a few clicks of a button. As an added bonus you can help other local community organizations at the same time…

During this lush and vibrant time of year, we will spend these days learning and experiencing all we can of the living landscape of the Driftless region. The array of trees, diverse herbaceous plants of forest and meadow, nesting birds, elusive mammals, and frogs, insects, fungi, and reptiles will all be explored as we work to comprehend the workings of the overall natural community here. Through the tools of drawing, discussion, observation, tracking, sits, and creative activity these plants and animals will be understood first-hand and become personally known, appreciated and respected neighbors in life upon this land.

Folk Schools model an educational approach that places relationship, culture, and personal + community empowerment at the center of learning and life!

Calling ALL voices! You are invited to come and sing with us! Community Singing is accessible to anyone and everyone. All songs are taught call and response (no need to read music or have previous singing experience). They are simple, yet beautiful when sung together. Some songs are rounds, some have multiple simple parts, and some have simple harmonies. This kind of singing is for the sheer joy of being together in community, and there is no performance. Come experience the pleasure of simple connection with others through music.

It’s January in Wisconsin - maybe the novelty of winter is wearing thin? Perhaps some cabin fever? Time for another Driftless Folk School Community Barn Dance!

Join caller Tim Jenkins and The Farm Market Buskers band for an evening of dance and community warmth. No prior experience necessary - lace up your dancing shoes and come on down to LaFarge.

WHEN: Sat January 28, 6:30-9:30 pm

WHERE: LaFarge Community Center, 202 N. State St.

COST: Free Will Offering
