BRATTLEBORO — Are you looking for a family-friendly, nonalcoholic event to ring in the New Year? Turning Point of Windham County is hosting a Sober Dance at the River Garden on Tuesday, December 31, from 9:00 p.m. to about 12:30 a.m., and it might be just what you're looking for.
This event is for both those in recovery and those who choose a G-rated alternative to celebrate the New Year. This time of year tends to be jam-packed with parties, concerts, and other celebrations, and, very often, alcohol is a part of the event. This dance offers another way to celebrate.
Ralph Sherman and friends will provide the music, snacks will be provided, and everyone will be able to watch the countdown to New Year's at midnight.
A donation of $10.00 is suggested, but please don't let the cost keep you away, pay what will work with you.
The River Garden's downtown locale provides easy access to other activities taking place that night, making it convenient for people to “party hop” and enjoy as much of what Brattleboro has to offer as possible. Revelers may attend one event for a while, stop in to dance for a while, and then move on. Or, they might choose to spend the evening at the dance. Whatever works!
Remember: Tuesday, Dec. 31, 9 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., at the River Garden, 153 Main Street, $10 donation. Contact Turning Point at 802-257-5600 if you have questions. Turning Point hopes this alcohol-free alternative is appealing to the recovery community and all who support the center.
