Raging Bluegrass Dance?

So Diedre and Ethan saw signs in the post office for a fiddle contest and dance in Rigby last saturday, and Nate and I got excited about it too, so we all went together. It'd been a while since I've been to a good dance and Nate and I rarely do this kind of thing. Plus, a fiddle contest sounded awesome! So we headed out with excitement in our hearts. 

When we got there, we wandered into the old barn where it was being held. We soon realized that we were the only ones under the age of sixty there. What was worse, it the music was no raging bluegrass, but rather old people playing fiddle waltz's and polkas. One of the old men started to sing a song and forgot the words and so they had to start over. It was way casual and not very professional. 

At first we were disappointed, but we decided to stay and make the best of it. It actually ended up being a lot of fun. We stayed for 3 groups and Ethan and Diedre even danced a few songs. We only left when an old couple threatened to teach Ethan and Diedre how to waltz.
