Going out dancing for a leisurely evening out together is also good exercise. Instead of going to a movie, try going out dancing together on a Saturday night; casual social dancing is the equivalent of going for a four-mile walk. 

The new playlist will be posted before the next dance. I'll also play as many requests as I can fit in.

Step out in your sparkling western wear this September for LACASA's Denim & Diamonds.

Cowboys and cowgirls are invited to attend this year's smokin' event at the breathtaking Cross W Ranch in Howell.

Explore the lakeside scenery at this picture-perfect setting. Enjoy down-home country cooking. Test lady luck in the Wild West gambling tent. Sip on wine or beer as you watch award-winning entertainment. Kick up your cowboy boots for line and square dancing. Shop the general store, or saddle up to the Cigar Bar. Don't forget to dare your friends to ride the mechanical bull!

It's all part of the fun at this jeans-preferred affair that offers something for everyone.

All-night-long entertainment provided by William Shadrick and The Modern Day Drifters, national recording artist Kari Holmes.
