Logan Railsplitting Association announces upcoming Old Time Barn Dance events!

The Lincoln Rec Center will be bringing the house down with an Old Time Barn Dance on Saturday, March 31st from 7-9pm, to help celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday month. The event is presented by the folks who bring you the Abraham Lincoln National Railsplitting Festival. The ever-popular dance caller Ozzie Pearl from Weldon, IL will call a variety of old time dances, and no experience is necessary to learn and enjoy yourself at this event.

Dances will include waltzes, two-steps and slow dances, and Ozzie will show you everything you know to participate and have fun! The event is a fundraiser and prelude for the Abraham Lincoln National Railsplitting Festival September 14-16 at the Logan County Fairgrounds in Lincoln. Ozzie will also bring the barn dance back for the Saturday evening at the popular September festival, now in its 42^nd year.

The Railsplitting Festival will also continue their Friday night Civil War Ball on September 14^th. Additional new features of the festival will be announced soon.
