Boot scootin’ in the Barnyard

The Pre-Vet Club, RLA, NOCS, the Collegiate Farm Bureau, Ag Club and Wildlife Club all came together to host Boot Scootin’ in the Barnyard, Sunday, in the Student Center Ballroom.

“Every Sunday night we host a dance at the Arts Center from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.” Quinton Shaw, junior of Bassett and vice president of Night of Country Swing (NOCS), said. “It’s open to anyone who wants to come and the nice thing about it is, we don’t care what level you are, we’ll teach you from nothing.”

There were more than 70 students in attendance.

“We decided to do this event to get our name out there a little bit,” he said.

Sarah Stangle, junior of Gordon, said, “This is such an accepting environment and you’ll go away knowing that you made some lifelong friends.”

Stangle also said that, because it is an accepting environment, it makes it easier for inexperienced dancers to learn.

This is the second on-campus event that NOCS has co-hosted.

Josh Harnish, senior of Scottsbluff, said that he liked having this event on-campus rather than off-campus because it was easier for him to get to an on-campus event rather than when they usually host it at the Arts Center.

Shaw said that NOCS would like to bring this event back to campus again.
