"Each Thursday evening, locals and visitors gather at the Old Farmer’s Ball for a night of live music and folk dancing. Styles can range from callers for square dancing to freestyling against the rhythm the bands play. Though the roof of the original location collapsed in 1982, the cultural tradition continues today in Bryson Gym at Warren Wilson College. Guests don’t have to be members to attend a dance, but the membership costs $5 and knocks $1 off the nominal entrance fee of $7." - MATADOR_NETWORK
