Quiet Corner Contra Dance, Coventry, CT, June 2019

The Quiet Corner Contra Dance is held at a lodge in Coventry, CT, overlooking a lake.
At the June 2019 dance, there was a spectacular sunset, and at one point, all three members of Wry Bred were out on the deck photographing it:

Taughannock Falls State Park

"Four potatoes" is a four-beat shuffle pattern that the fiddler plays before the dancing begins to set the tempo and give the dancers 4 beats to get ready to dance.
