The Catskill Region Loses Legendary Fiddler and Square Dance Caller



It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Hilt Kelly, the Catskills' own traditional fiddler and square dance caller, on the evening of Tuesday, March 3, after a long illness.  There will be many memorial tributes, among them the square dance on March 22, see below, which is being re-purposed as a celebration of Hilt's life to which everyone is invited.   The celebration, including a pot luck luncheon , will begin at 11 a.m. at the Halcott Grange, and at 1 p.m. the square dance will begin. Bring your memories, your recollections, and photos to share with Hilt and Stella's friends and family, then stay for the dance.  The Watershed Post is collecting recollections and comments at www.watershedpost.com. Other gatherings may be planned and will be announced here.
