Documentary Film Screening - The Last Barn Dance

To commemorate National Agriculture Day, join us for a screening of The Last Barn Dance, which chronicles dairy farmer Randy Lewis’ fight to save his business in an economy that has decimated most other family farms in Alamance County. (Runtime 30 minutes). Jason Arthurs, director and producer, Randy Lewis, the farmer highlighted in the film, and John Day, military partnership coordinator for NC Growing Together, will be on hand for a post-screening discussion.

This program will also feature a selection of songs from the barn dance tradition, performed by banjoist Lily James, a student at Sanderson High School.

Beginning at 6:30, a selection of materials highlighting small farming and agricultural extension in North Carolina will be on display from the NCSU Libraries Special Collections Research Center.
