Square Dancing

On Friday evening, a western tradition comes alive. Cloggers and Square Dancers fill the intersection immediately in front of the rattlesnake buying platform. The dancing usually extends well into the dark.

The cloggers will feature various dancers of all ages. The spectacle is watching the group moving in unison and "clogging" together. As their feet come in contact with the concrete under their feet, one sound is heard. Also, the speed and precision that is used is a sight to see.

The square dancing follows the cloggers. The participants come in full garb. The dancers dance several routines as the caller calls out the routines. Like the cloggers, the execution of each move is of great precision. There are plenty of swings, promenades, and do-si-dos to see.

Don't miss an opportunity to see two of traditional dances.
