The Ozark Tablecloth Dance is a dance performed by the young girls of marrigeable age in the county. They wear dresses made from tablecloths, and act out their willingness to be wives. This tradition is dying out due to the influence of television, and the incursions of Bluegrass Music.

This is a photograph taken in 1928, at the town of Antbreath, MO.

Most Tablecloth Dances nowadays are performed for tourist money, and leave out some of the more traditional steps and gestures, out of respect for the tender feelings of New Yorkers.

The bounty on New Yorkers was repealed in 1956. There's still a bounty on California liberals, though.
