Local Heroes: Dianne Britton and Fred Druseikis

Dianne and Fred are Directors for the ContraCola (Columbia Traditional Music and Dance) organization in Columbia, SC, and have been pillars of this community for many years. They are both accomplished musicians that bring us joy at many dances. Dianne plays several instruments including the fiddle and the dulcimer, while Fred tickles the keys on the piano. They both serve the community in various capacities including managing the group's website and helping with finances. Their experience and enthusiasm have been key in helping grow our dance group over the years.
