Merengue dancing class

Merengue is a simple Latin dance that anyone can do. As such, it is a great dance for social mixing. In this class, all the leaders will end up dancing with all the followers. Once the basic "step" is learned, which takes about 40 seconds, one can add in arm movements from most any other dance, for endless variety. No special experience required. Come with a dancing partner or by yourself. Wear comfortable shoes that you can step and turn in. Feel free to bring water.

Brunchfest
DINERS/JUDGES: Check in at 10:30 in the ARCADE. You will receive a score card to rate the entries on a score of 1-10. You will be judging taste, appearance, showmanship, bribes, etc.; whatever you think is best and most important. Your $9 entry will allow you to sample many tasty dishes, treats, and drinks.

CONTESTANTS: FREE to enter, but you must register in advance. You supply your entry dish, we supply the rest. You can prepare your dish either in the arcade, or at your site then bring it to the arcade. Arrive at the arcade as far in advance of the start time as you will need for preparation and set up of your dish. If using a camp stove, you must have a heat proof stand for it. Let us know if you need electricity, so we can be sure to have the right number of outlets set up.
 
This competition is focused on dishes that do NOT fit into the One Pot Cook Off. Snacks and desserts are encouraged, but just about anything goes. Drinks can also compete, but please include a non-alcohol version for non-drinkers. Got a great dish that doesn’t fit in with the Cook Off? This is your event to win! Think you can win this AND the Cook Off? Go for it! Enter BOTH! Prizes will be in the form of alt-currencies, not FRNs. (Bribery of the judiciary is encouraged!)

Beginner Waltz dancing class
Waltz is a beautiful, uplifting, and (some people think) romantic dance style. It has one of the easiest basic steps around -- it’s just like walking! Add in variations and turns, and it’s pure fun. We’ll start with the basics, learn some partnering skills, and do some variations. No experience needed, come with a dancing partner or by yourself. Bring shoes that stay on your feet (sneakers are fine) and water.

Because nothing says 'true north strong and free-to-eat-whatever-you-want'
like fluffy pancakes lathered in butter and a river of sweet sweet maple
syrup.

while enjoying a hot pancake breakfast. This event aims to highlight the
cultural and national diversity of PorcFest and bring together freedom
lovers from all corners of the globe. Everyone is welcome!

give you access to real Canadian maple syrup!
