The Heritage Lounge changed its usual appearance for the night, being transformed into the Corner Country Store. Antiques and a western type backdrop decorated the room.

The walls were decorated with large replicas of cards, and the tables were covered with red and white checked tablecloths.

Piano playing was in the background with a song and guitar act by Doug Robertson and a banjo playing act by Steve Barr. The admission price of the dance was $1.50 per person, but once inside all other food except cokes were free. Coordinator for the disco was Amy Beasley. Other members of the committee were Jana Cable, Jana Braden, Virgil Pund, Ginny King, and Rob Wells. Those working on the disco said that planning began about six weeks before the disco was scheduled to be presented. They said they had hoped for a larger crowd, but they felt the program was successful in that it was the first time it had been presented.
