December 6, 2024I was asked to name our new ranch and the name was too long but abbreviated is HOE. This prompted a HOE-down. Of course none of the guests were familiar with square dancing but Garland Smith had us all up and moving in minutes! What a blast it was and I was asked by several guests for Garlands and GigSalads contact info for future events!
Thank you Garland and hope to see you again soon!

October 15, 2023Awesome event! We had Garland out for a youth fundraiser and he was able to engage all ages. Even the beginners that didn’t know what they were doing he was able to make them feel comfortable and have learning! Would definitely have him out to any event again!

All I need is a small table (4X6 is plenty) and an electrical outlet. I provide the music, the knowledge, and the experience to make your event a tremendous success.
