Why We’re Steppin’ into Line Dancing at Knutson Farms: A New Agritourism Tradition in the Making With Bri Seston
Kick Up Your Heels!
When you think of
Knutson Farms in the summer, your mind might jump to bright sunflowers, fresh farm air, and a big red barn that feels like it came straight from a country fairy tale. But this year, there’s something new brewing under those barn rafters—and it’s got boots, music, and a whole lot of rhythm.
Chatting with Bri Seston of Knutson Farms to hear all about their brand-new Line Dancing at the Farm event coming this August, and how it ties into their growing agritourism vision.
What inspired Line Dancing at the Farm?
Our iconic Dome Barn was built in the 1940s, and it’s truly one-of-a-kind. With 11,000 square feet of open-air space, high exposed beams, and now five stunning chandeliers strung down the middle—it’s simply dreamy. Anytime we host something in there, it’s a total showstopper. We realized: why not create an event that truly celebrates the magic of the space and the community? Line dancing just felt like the perfect fit.
Is this your first time hosting this kind of event?
Yes! This is our very first year doing Line Dancing at the Farm. It’s been a dream of ours since we first opened to the public, but other events always seemed to take priority. Funny enough, a local company—Scuffed Boots Dance—reached out at just the right time. The name alone won us over, and once we learned about their mission, we were all in.
What can guests expect on August 16th?
Everything you’d hope for in a fun, summer farm night out! We’ll have:
- A live DJ
- Line dancing lessons with Scuffed Boots
- Walks through our blooming sunflower field
- A themed photo booth with printed strips
- Yard games
- Farm-fresh food and drinks available for purchase
Who’s this event designed for?
This will be our very first 21+ only event! We’re expecting couples on date night, girls’ night crews, and of course, line dancing enthusiasts ready to hit the floor.
What kind of planning goes into something like this?
It always starts around the table with our managers. We've learned that every detail matters, and the best way to ensure a smooth event is collaboration. From pricing and flow to budgeting and goals, we map it all out as a team.
Tell us more about Scuffed Boots Dance!
They’re a husband-and-wife duo who are passionate about getting people moving and having fun. They’ll be right there on the dance floor all night—cheering people on, teaching steps, and high-fiving guests. They bring the energy!
How are you promoting the event?
Social media is our biggest driver. We’ve built a really strong and engaged audience over the years, so that’s our main focus. We also send out monthly newsletters to our email subscribers.
How does this event support your agritourism goals?
For us, it’s all about building community. We want to be more than just a place people visit once a year—we want to be a space where they connect, celebrate, and make memories. As we continue to grow in our fifth year of agritourism, events like this help us welcome new farm friends and create deeper ties with our community.
What’s been the most fun part of planning?
Definitely the theme and design! We’re going all in with an Americana vibe, tying it right into our Sunflower Days Festival. It’s been so fun to bring it all together visually and create a night that feels as magical as it sounds.
What are you most excited for on event night?
Dancing! Our whole management team will be there—and we’re hoping to enjoy the evening with our spouses and friends, too. It’s a celebration, and we want to be out there dancing right alongside our guests.
Could this become a tradition?
Absolutely. We’re already dreaming of doing it twice a year, including a fall version to kick off our Pumpkin Patch season—maybe even a family-friendly twist!
Just for fun: any favorite line dance songs?
Oh, we just want all the good country music! And we’re especially excited to see Brian’s signature dance move—it’s already a running joke on the team!
