See this beautiful, rustic barn? It looks so quiet and unassuming, doesn't it?
But inside you are transported back to another time in history. A time
when family, friends, neighbors and strangers would get together for
the sheer mutual enjoyment of.... barn dancing!

The gentleman in the check shirt and blue jeans
is the caller and instructor. He's wonderful to learn from!
That's his darling wife next to him! They're a neat pair!

The band is fantastic! You really should see how
some of these traditional instruments were made out
of things commonly "hanging around the farm."

There are even some instruments for guests to use
so they can get in on the music action if they aren't up to dancing!
