With food, music, line-dancing and a wacky recounting of the megillah, ya’ll done wanna miss it, hear me? Come in costume or we’ll run ya right outta town. The sheriff’s got prizes if your costume’s appealin’ and once the youngin’s get tuckered out, the older folk gonna keep the party goin’ with country karaoke. Yeehaw!
