## About

Franconia Rec Center turns its gym into a roller rink for a country-themed family skate and dance night. A playlist of western hits and line-dance favorites keeps things moving while families skate — or just dance — around the gym floor. Denim, flannel and cowboy hats are encouraged. Bring your own skates; there is no rental mentioned. The $10 charge applies to everyone who comes in, including spectators and chaperones.
