The barrel cocktail tables are finally done just in time for the first fall wedding tomorrow!! I just stood and looked at this area for about 10 minutes before leaving tonight remembering my swingset and slip ‘n slide being in this exact spot just a few years back… 😆 Thanks to LJ & co. for your handiwork and my amazing husband for helping get through the many fun hours of mulching & planting the last few weeks! 😅

The new food truck/gathering area is mostly complete! Walking through last night after dark felt a bit magical. ✨ AJP Electric LLC did a great job with the lights! I was going to add music to this video but then you wouldn’t be able to hear the tree frogs… and my flipflops. 😆

Tonight!! All are welcome. Bring your friends for a fun night of dancing! 💃🏻🕺

Hello folks, as you probably know, we recently started a new Barn Dance series at the Powder Mill Barn in Enfield CT. This Saturday is our second dance, and we are hoping to see some old friends, and to make some new ones. A "Barn Dance" is a simple dance evening with easy dances, anon experience is required. WE will dance some dances in straight lines facing a partner, some in circles where we keep, or maybe change partners, some squares, and possibly a waltz.

Again, no experience is necessary to attend, and no partner is necessary. Teens and above are welcomed in this community dance, and you should be OK dancing with folks you do not know (Yet!).

The fun starts at 7PM at the historic Powder Mill Barn, 32 South Maple Street, in Enfield CT. Please note that you must bring along a pair of clean, soft-soled, non-marking shoes so we can protect and preserve the wonderful dance floor.

The dance leader and caller for the evening is Rich Sbardella. Rich has been calling dance throughout New England for over 30 years, and the musicians are Craig Edwards (fiddle) and Tom Randall (guitar) who began playing music together in 1980. Both make a living playing and teaching music. Their musical collaborations include playing countless square and contra dances, and in bands playing Old Time, Bluegrass, Blues, Irish Cajun, Zydeco, H***y Tonk, and Rock'n'roll."

Now that the holiday season is over, it was so nice receiving this review from Samantha & Jon on our WeddingWire page! Personally, December weddings here are my favorite, and it makes me so happy to hear the cozy barn was perfect for their big day. The weather was still nice enough for them to have their first look and photos outside too. Congratulations to this fun, sweet couple and thank you for choosing Powder Mill Barn!

Great crowd last night for our first of hopefully many more “Shindigs” we’ve had at the Barn in a few years! Calling by Rich Sbardella, with live music by two of New England’s finest, John Kalinowski & Mickey Koth! If you missed it, the next one will be January 27th. Barn dances are open to all, no lessons or partner necessary, just bring your dancin’ shoes!
