​Rural School box social and dance

​Rio Blanco County carries many memories of box socials and dances in the rural schools from days gone by. August 30, 2014 will be a comeback of those fun days. Hosted at the Buford Rural School with music by Dave Main and friends plus square dance calling by Dan Seely, this stands to be another event to remember!

In addition to all the fun festivities including free hamburgers and hotdogs, Bryce Purkey will be auctioneer for the Dessert Box Social. The proceeds from the desserts will go toward the historic preservation of the Coal Creek School.

Everyone welcome! Bring a dessert or be prepared to bid on a dessert, or both! Most of all, come prepared to have a good time!

And so we did…have an awesome time! Click here to see photos of the 2014 Dessert Box Social and Dance!
