BRATTLEBORO — All are welcome to Power Shift 2, a dance party that will feature live rock 'n' roll by the likes of Gangly Heart, the Diamondstones, and Tritium Well, from 7 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23, at the Stone Church, 210 Main St.

Also on tap: a new comedy sketch by Suzy Polucci and Court Dorsey, info on upcoming protest actions, and updates on nuclear issues.

The event is free but donations are requested. Snacks and drinks are included.
