Seniors and older adults danced the afternoon away to music from the Disco Era of the 1970s at Plummer Place on April 27th. The event was sponsored by the Friends of Northbridge Elders (FINE) and AdviniaCare of Northbridge

Attendees celebrated in their psychedelic disco-inspired attire that included colorful sequined tops, sparkly leisure suits, bellbottom jeans, wide collar shirts, funky scarves, chokers and tie-dyed T-shirts.

 

Some participants even adorned Afro-style wigs, bold colored hair pieces, patterned head bands, and glittery jewelry.

DJ Steve Charette kept the crowd movin’ and groovin’ to hits by the Bee Gees, Diana Ross, KC and the Sunshine Band, Earth Wind and Fire and Donna Summer to name just a few.

“The music was electrifying, and the people were nostalgic,” Sheri Tomasetti, a volunteer for the event, said.

“It was a fabulous event! I loved watching all the dancers on the dance floor and was surprised at how many good dancers there were!” Carol Snow, A FINE member and chair of FINE’s fundraising committee, said.

An on-site luncheon was provided by FINE to go with the DJ and dancing and included an assortment of deli sandwiches, salads and desserts prepared by Plummer Place Chef Pete Sabourin. Beautiful themed baskets provided by FINE were raffled off.

“The party was so much fun!” said Harriet Platt. “I loved everything about it and if anyone out there missed the party, shame on them!
