Libertas Classical Homeschool Community’s semiannual family fun night and alumni reunion on Oct. 25, was a fall celebration potluck and chili cookoff followed by a square dance featuring international square dance caller, Darrell McMillan. The evening began with an orientation for newcomers to the basics of square dancing. Blind judges selected a winning chili entry, and the cook was awarded a hand-crocheted chevron lap blanket in fall colors. After the meal, families joined in an intergenerational square dance that included grandparents, parents, Libertas alumni, teens and children as young as first grade. Libertas Classical Homeschool Community is based in Hartselle.
