The Annual General Meeting of the Barn Dance Society for 2022 was held on April 11, 2022

Grand Finale at Country Heritage Park, Milton (Oct 2001)

The Barn Dance Master of Ceremonies, Jim Swan, has a special way of opening the Barn Dance shows to link them back to the style of the original Barn Dance live broadcasts. (Click here to see a video of the opening of the show pictured above)

Aims & Objectives of the Society:

To preserve the memory of the builders, the musicians and entertainers who were featured over the years on the CKNX Barn Dance, and on the radio and TV shows -- Serenade Ranch, Western Roundup, Circle 8 Ranch, Good Time Country and others, which were broadcast from the CKNX facilities over the years.

To preserve the memory of the builders, other musicians and entertainers who performed in southwestern Ontario in years past.

To establish and maintain a museum for the display of photos, artifacts and memorabilia relating to the builders, the musicians and entertainers from this area.

To support, in any possible way, new musical and entertainment talents in the area, particularly in the country music field.
