About me: We are a small family oriented group that has been in existance for over 20 years. Our director Randy & his late father, Bob, started the group in 1982. This is how we got our name "rain" comes from Randy and "bo" comes from Bob. The intermediate group practices on Tuesday nights and the advanced group practices on Wednesday nights, both at the Kickapoo Sportsman's Club. We dance at various events inside and outside all year round. Let us know if you are interested in clogging or if you want to book a show!
