details = """
The Cabot Community Contra Dance is a distinctly beginner-friendly and family-friendly dance held every 2nd Friday, September–June. Our rotating Vermont callers use gender-free terminology, with music provided by The Usual Suspects, a great group of local musicians, and sit-ins are welcome! We have a lovely wooden-floored space in the Cabot Town Hall.  
Admission is on a sliding scale, $5-10 suggested, but nobody is turned away for lack of funds. Masks are welcomed but not required, and we ask that you bring some clean, dry shoes to change into, if it’s snowy or wet out."""
