One of my favorite hobbies of all time is line dancing. When
I go home, on Friday nights, there is an 18 and up country bar called Stampede
that I go dancing at. So naturally when I heard there was a place to go line
dancing in Flagstaff, I got extremely excited.
For the last three years of my time here, I have been
counting down the minutes to when I could spend my Friday nights doing what I
love. Finally this summer I turned 21 and was allowed to go to Country Nights
at The Lumberyard.
My sisters Sophia, Shelby, and I decided to go this past
Friday night to celebrate Sophia’s 21st birthday. We arrived at 8:30
to have a late dinner.
The food was so delicious. We started with an appetizer of
Fried Mac N Cheese Balls. Then I had a Bacon Bleu Burger with veggies. It was
easily one of the best burgers I have every had! With all of that, we were so
full. We had half an hour til “Country Night” began and the dance floor was
cleared but the drink specials had begun!
For “Country Night,” the special is $6 Yard Jars, which are
32 ounce mason jars with options for different types of drinks. There is
something for everyone. I personally love the Wicked Weed Peach Tea.
At 10:00, the staff moved some of the tables to create a
dance floor. I couldn’t wait to dance! After two songs, “Merry Go Round” by the
Jane Deer Girls came on. So naturally I headed to the floor to do the “Redneck
Angel” dance.
I was the only person on the floor. Turns out, in Flagstaff,
going line dancing means everyone knows how to do a whole two line dances. I
was so bummed!! Then during one of the two dances everyone knows, I did it
differently because of the way I know how to do it from back home. After doing
two quarter turns, I discovered the person next to me dancing my dance! As soon
as the song ended, I began to chat with him and discovered he goes to Stampede
as well!
After that, the two of us did most of the line dances
together and it made my night! So overall, the food and drinks were fabulous
but the dancing, not the greatest. I guess I am just lucky to have Stampede and
it makes me look forward to the next time I go home!
