Tomales Barn Dance

Another wonderful small town dance happened and we were one of the first families to arrive. They had a band and a square dance caller, as well as homemade pumpkin soup and fresh-squeezed lemonade. The decorations were corn stalks and pumpkins/gourds and white twinkle lights. Absolutely beautiful.

The Barn Dance was promoted along with Bill McKibben's International Day of Climate Action. On October 24th, people in 181 countries came together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history. At over 5200 events around the world (including the Tomales Barn Dance), people gathered to call for strong action and bold leadership on the climate crisis. Over 19,000 photos from the day of the 350 event have been submitted so far!



We have since learned a bit more about the 350.org website and what we can do to help raise awareness. However, on the night of the dance, all Grady cared about was dancing the night away with Anna from Hand's Full Farm. He also learned how to promenade, dosey-doe and swing his partner round-and-round. As you can tell, we're on the dance hall circuit lately and are looking forward to the upcoming holiday season. Ladies: Watch out for a little boy in a blue hat ~ he's on fire and not taking no for an answer.
