The Tricorne Dance Ensemble which is under the direction of dance mistress Denise Piccino will be performing in the Steuben House at 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm. The one-hour program will tell the story of General Washington's life through song and dance. Musical accompaniment will be provided by Ridley and Anne Enslow on the fiddle and hammered dulcimer. In between performances meet the General and Martha Washington portrayed by Rodger Yaden and Sue Braisted.
