The Steppin’ Pards square dancing group performed an exhibition at the Turlock Certified Farmers Market Friday night. The Steppin’ Pards meet every Wednesday at 7 p.m. for workshops at the American Legion Hall, located at 75 Bothun Rd. (off of East Avenue) in Turlock. During the month of September the club offers square dance lessons free for new dancers.

Club members include adults, both single and married couples of all backgrounds and ages who come together to share a common interest. The youngest dancers are teenagers and the oldest club dancers are in their 90s. The Turlock Steppin’ Pards have been going strong for the last 58 years.
