Sponsored by the Missouri National Fiddlers Association headed by Glen Keller of Route 2, Braymer, Missouri, the dance has been occurring on a weekly basis since 1964. The present sponsors were an outgrowth of the now defunct Midwest Fiddlers Association formed in 1964 by Jake Hughes of Ludlow, Missouri. The dance is open to the public and supported by passing the hat at each event. The main group of dancers was featured in the late 1970s at Frontier Folklife Festival at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Originally recorded in 1/2" format then duped onto 3/4" tape, the recording was made possible by funding through the Weldon Spring Fund of the University of Missouri through the Missouri Cultural Heritage Center. Camera operators were Mike Everman, William A. Shull, and Charlie Walden.
