Hayride? Shindig?
Did You Know? - A shindig is a large group of people or a dance. Shindig can also be used to replace the word "thing." (Editor: We prefer shindig!!)
Miniature bales of hay make a perfect stage
Did You Know? - Hay baled before it is fully dry can produce enough heat to start a fire. Farmers have to be careful about moisture levels to avoid spontaneous combustion, which is a leading cause of haystack fires. Heat is produced by the respiration process, which occurs until the moisture content of drying hay drops below 40%. Hay is considered fully dry when it reaches 20% moisture. Combustion problems typically occur within five days to seven days of baling. A bale cooler than 120 °F (49 °C) is in little danger, bales between 120 and 140 °F (49 and 60 °C) need to be removed from a barn or structure and separated so that they can cool off. If the temperature of a bale exceeds more than 140 °F (60 °C), it can combust.
Tom installed a fire alarm
Barbara is certainly enjoying the decorations
We were a bit more austere

Magnificent setting
Dancing up a storm
Sharing
The covered wagon was a night light about 65 years ago

Pickin' and grinin'
Tracy Wells is about to hit the start key for another great dancing evening
A real band sounds so very very good
Notice the electric cord has turned hard
Look pretty good for being 65 years old (at least that)
Herb came west is a covered wagon
Herbie did NOT let the grass grow under him
Nice crowd tonight
The moon was very bright tonight
Tom is heading for home... The straw is sleepy and needs to rest
Geeeez Tom... You could have rolled it in!
Magnificent sounds emanate from the stage
