Those attending the Maria Stein Country Fest preview on Thursday were entertained with some tractor square dancing. Cowboys and Indians was the theme selected by this year's "dancers." The 23rd annual festival gets under way today at 5 p.m. and closes with the raffle at 11 p.m. Sunday at the grounds of the Maria Stein Center.
