Local Hero: John Wetzel

John Wetzel has been a key member of the dance community in South Carolina for many years. He has been on the ContraCola (also known as Columbia Traditional Music and Dance) Board of Directors and served as its President for many, many years.  Under his leadership the organization has grown and has become stronger. John helped us weather some heavy storms in recent years. He is an avid promoter of Contra dances in our area. Additionally, he is a talented musician and a great sound person. His experience and dedication are very much appreciated!
