Ask Vinnie to perform at Dodge City Days street dance

    Once again, Central Station Club and Grill will offer its patrons a mix of live music and fun during the restaurant's first street dance of Dodge City Days 2008.
    The dance will run from 9 p.m. today until 1:30 a.m. Sunday under the tent in the restaurant's parking lot, 207 E. Wyatt Earp Blvd. People may park on either the east or west sides of the building.
    Admission is $7 apiece, or $5 with a Dodge City Days lapel pin. Patrons must be at least 21 to attend.
    The popular band Ask Vinnie, which performed during the restaurant's first Dodge City Days street dance in 2007, will do the honor again this year, said restaurant co-owner Alberto Vazquez. In addition, a disc jockey will play hip-hop music inside the building until closing time at 2 a.m.
    "Hopefully, we'll get a good response," Vazquez said.
    He said the restaurant will be open until 10 p.m., but no food will be served after that time.
    But that's not the only dance on tonight's agenda.
    Casey's Cowtown Club, 503 E. Trail St., will host a street dance starting at 9:30 p.m. The Smokin' No-Nos will perform. Admission is $5 apiece, and patrons must be at least 21.
