Feet are still sore and voices raw, after two-and-a-half hours of dancing and singing along to country hits at the City of Enderby’s inaugural Boots by the River on Friday, July 11, 2025 at Belvidere Park.
More than 500 people were in attendance for the free country concert and dance. Check out the short highlight video that captures the essence of the community party.
Room to Dance, comprised of husband-wife duo Andy and JC Plett are receiving rave reviews. They performed the hits and nailed a dynamite costume change.
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s Fishin’ in the Dark, Gretchen Wilson’s Here for the Party and Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline pulled the biggest crowds to the dance floor.
A HUGE thank you to the Enderby Legion Branch 98 for being the title sponsor of the event.
Stay tuned for the date and theme of our next “By the River” concert and dance. September is looking good for another chance to get dressed up and to stretch those vocal chords…
