Daddy Daughter Dance Postponed Again

There are still so many of us snowed in and therefore we have no choice but to postpone the Daddy Daughter Dance again. We will be moving it to next Saturday, February 16th. We will have two sessions as originally planned.

We know that many will be disappointed but the circumstances are beyond our control. We are aware of the fact that moving the dance to next week might cause scheduling conflicts for those with travel plans. This event is a major fundraiser for Friends of Madison Youth (FOMY). FOMY uses proceeds from this event and others to provide programming for youth programs in town. If you are unable to attend the new date and wish to receive a full or partial refund please let us know by emailing us at madisonartsbarn@gmail.com. If you would like to receive a partial refund please indicate the amount in your email. FOMY is a non-profit organization and any donation is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

If you did not purchase tickets yet and would like to attend this Saturday, tickets can still be bought on our website under the old date and will be honored for the 16th.

Daddy Daughter Dance Postponed

Wow…we didn’t want to do it but we have to postpone the Daddy Daughter Dance until Sunday, February 10th from 5-7PM. Both sessions will be combined. We will update our facebook page, website and channel 4 NBC if we need to change it again. Stay Safe!!

Daddy Daughter Dance Still on for now

At this point we still plan on going forward with the Daddy Daughter Dance on Saturday. If we need to cancel due to the weather we will update our website, Facebook page and it will be listed with the cancellations on channel 4 NBC. We will make our decision by noon on Saturday.

The Barn is bursting with activities now. Tickets for all events can be purchased online or at the door.
