  This place is gonna be a lot of fun over the years.   If we could just talk them into opening for the afternoon crowd on Saturday and Sunday, we'd be back more often.   I look forward to spending some time on that dance floor this year.
  
  This place is nothing flashy, and exactly what I like in a small town dance hall.   Open dance floor, country music and COLD beer.

  This place is great..........for a family to go. If you were looking for good dancers, singles that would ask you to dance, and air conditioning, this is not the place for you. There were a lot of couples and family's with kids as young as 5 dancing on dance floor. I was there early for lesson which was truly for beginners. There was no changing partners in lesson which tells me they are all couples. I stayed until 9 and didn't see the hundreds of people so it may be a Saturday versus Friday thing. Bottled water was only a dollar so that was best thing of all.  Will definatly go back with my kids and grandparents but not as a person looking to do dance good two stepping, west coast swinging, east coast swinging or waltzing. I guess if I would have stayed later maybe there would have been more dancers come in but the kids and teens made me not want to stay unless I had mine with me.   Cute idea and wish I had that as a kid to go to.

  I loved the dance hall, cool building, great band, BUT.... WAY TOO MANY KIDS!!! I understand people like a place to take the kiddies, however when I go out on a Saturday night at 9pm I prefer to be around adults.  Kids were running around everywhere...  Suggestion: Friday night family night, Saturday night 21 and over. Otherwise it's 5 stars.

  We stopped in opening night to see what it would be like.
  
  We arrived right around 7:10 and it wasn't too busy yet. It was $7 per person to get in at the front door. The lady said it was cash only as the credit card lines weren't up and running yet.
  
  We walked in and took in the building. It was a pretty good sized building made from mostly wood and metal. No ceiling fans or HVAC. Just the good old basics.
  
  There is a bar area where you can purchase wine for $5 per glass, beers in a can for $3.25 or $3.75 depending on the beer, or soda for $2. You can also get a bucket with glasses to mix your own. We saw people walking in with their own whiskey and wine throughout the evening. They also sell snacks (chips) for $2.
  
  Around 7:20 they started offering dance lessons out on the dance floor and numerous people went out. Lots of cowboy hats and boots dancing around. It was neat to watch
  
  By 8 pm it was getting pretty busy and the band was getting set up. Once they got started the band was really good. Great sound and very entertaining.
  
  We left a bit early, around 10 pm. There must have been 200 people inside the building, with at least another 100 waiting outside the door to get in, as other people left.
  
  I do have a few complaints:
  1. At least 1/2 the tables and available seating were reserved. It didn't leave a lot of choices for places to sit.
  2. When I was at the bar, someone from management tried to take my stool for the sound man. My wife said I was at the bar getting a drink, but the lady didn't care. She was screaming at my wife telling her they needed my seat. My wife said no again. She was very offended and we almost left at that point. I don't think taking seats from paying customers while they are at the bar spending more money is a good business idea. And don't scream at the customers.
