Ranch Nite Wednesdays are coming to a close on May 28, but just for the season. The popular food truck gathering at Waterside Place will return Oct. 1.
Ryan and Ania Luciano are regulars. It’s one of the couple's favorite perks of living in Waterside Place.
In addition to food trucks and live music, the May 22 installment of Ranch Nite featured Line Dancing with Lindsey.
Lindsey Dittenber instructed a drop-in class through a series of beginner moves like the “toe strut.” Touch your toe forward, then touch your heel back.
The crowd started small but grew as the night went on.
Michelle Gudge danced until there were too many steps to remember, then she was happy to sit back and watch.
