Christmas Barn Dance
The December barn dance is always extra special. The evening is filled with Christmas music for dancing and listening–all in the setting of the Thueson’s wonderful, cozy barn. This year it will be held Friday, December 14th from 7:00-10:00 at The Barn in Mapleton. The evening will start off with a concert by the Springville High School Bluegrass Band to be followed by the band KletzMore, who will introduce us to traditional Jewish songs and dances to celebrate Hanukkah. We’ll round out the night with dancing to some of your favorite Christmas music. Please remember to bring a snack to share with your fellow dancers and musicians. You can print the flyer below to inform others about the barn dance. This free event makes a great holiday treat for everyone. Come make some Christmas memories!
