On a chilly night in Haliburton County, folks attending the old-time winter square dance at the Haliburton Legion warmed things up with some energetic dancing.

The event was presented by Dance Happens Here Haliburton (DH3) with Hike Haliburton – Winter Edition and February Folk Festival.

Square dance caller, Hannah Shira Naiman, provided the instructions while live bluegrass music was performed by Nathan Smith, Kyle Kirkpatrick, and Tim O’Reilly.

There was a special performance by the Haliburton Scottish Country Dancers. Myra Stephen said, “it was warm in the Legion. The floor was bouncing.

Everyone jumped right to the floor with the first dance and didn’t stop till the very end. People really had fun.”
