The Witch of Blackbird Pond Ball returns to the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center (200 Main Street, Wethersfield) on Saturday, October 26th from 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm, presented by Wethersfield Historical Society. Wethersfield native and media figure Renee DiNino is back as mistress of ceremonies. Renee has the requisite skills to keep the festivities rolling all night long. A professional DJ has been engaged to provide the evening’s soundtrack, guaranteed to get you up and dancing, with more than a passing nod to some Halloween classics. The Vintage Dance Society is back to provide inspiration on the dance floor and show us all how it’s done. The Ball features local refreshments, music, dancing, cocktails, potions, and other spellbinding activities! Attendees are invited to come in costume, but it’s not a requirement. (That being said, many attendees who came in street clothes said “next year, I’m coming in costume”). Those who do are automatically entered in the costume contest. Ascot Catering is already under contract to bring their delectable hors d’oeuvres. Uniquely crafted libations are being created specifically for this event. The desserts will be truly magical.
