Friday or Saturday night is family dance night with local singers, dancers and line dancing for all ages. It is a locals fun spot for all ages. Get your Electric slide moves or follow the local kids, as they can outperform us all. More

There is music every night. Some nights it is live - others are canned music. It is a place to sit and people watch. If they fixed all of the overhead lights that cross over the square, it would have a warmer, more inviting feel. More
