Our information from the tour said George Strait filmed a Bud Light commercial and Brooks & Dunn filmed the music video for Red Dirt Road here.
The ticket booth outside the dance hall is the original booth, complete with chandelier.
There is a wishing well and covered wagon on the property. The grounds are spacious and open.
But we were there for the dance floor!
One of the tour group had a song called Sisterdale on their phone. He played it and many of us danced to it. It about the history of Sisterdale hall. Doing a Google search does get you to a song named Sisterdale by J.R. Castro, but it’s not the same one we heard. I was sent the mp4 which is embedded here.
Behind the stage curtain is an old piano.

We enjoyed dancing on this floor. Since this is a venue hall, we wouldn’t have been able to get on it without being invited to a wedding, or going on the dance hall road trip, so thanks Erik! Our next stop was a beer joint where we also had some pretty good food – Hillbillyz.
