Local old-time string band the “Rush River Ramblers” will play for a barn dance this Saturday in the gym of the River Falls Academy (the former Meyer Middle School) on West Maple Street in River Falls from 7 to 10 p.m.

This band features musicians from Spring Valley and Martell. Sue West, well-known on the local singer-songwriter scene, plays guitar for the Ramblers.

No prior experience is required. A skilled caller will teach steps to newcomers and experienced dancers alike. Partners are optional and singles welcome. Children are especially encouraged to participate in the opening family dance segment from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The second half of the evening moves into slightly more advanced dances.

The Ramblers will return on Saturday, March 17, for a special St. Patrick’s Day edition of the barn dance. The remaining dance in the 2011-12 season, on Saturday, April 21, features the Twin Cities group the “Barn Cats.”

Inexpensive refreshments are available. Information at www.riverfallscab.org
