Yes, folks, they'll be singing and swaying in the streets! Join us for Street Dancing to celebrate Middleport's 150th birthday on July 18 from 7 to 9 PM on the Commons (corner of Main St. and Park Ave.). There will be free hot dogs, beverages and desserts and yes, that means FREE HOT DOGS and DESSERTS for ALL. The winner of the Wooden Nickels contest will be annouced and you can still enter your guess at the beginning of the evening. There will be tents, tables and chairs but bringing a lawn chair is a good idea. Get ready to move and groove to the sound of the Easy Street Big Band and have some fun.
