I can't remember the name of the place that has taken over the former Park Ponderosa in McFarland. I think it was becoming a Mexican Restaurant. There used to be occasional contra dancing years ago at a VFW in Lakeside. Not sure if that's a possibility any longer. The hall on Dayton? where the winter Farmer's Market is held might work.

Angell Park in Sun Prairie has a *huge* floor. There is (was?) a sizeable, ramshackle polka barn at the Sullivan exit of I-94. Ixonia Fireman's Park has a nice hall. Riverview Ballroom and the Freethinker' s Hall in Sauk. The Lussier Family Center at Lake Farm Park might work. There is always the charming and inexpensive Fischer Hall in Paoli.

I'll add ...
For years, all the contra dancing in Bloomington, Indiana during the academic year was in a room with a tile-on-concrete floor. Summer dancing was done at a park shelter with a rather ordinary concrete floor. Same for summers for the Indianapolis, and Urbana, Illinois dances. There are probably a lot of park shelters in Madison that are as good as the Urbana shelter, and better than the Bloomington one. For an event like this, it might be worth considering lowered expectations about floor quality. Some PA restrictions would undoubtedly also apply. The county park shelter in Blue Mounds might work.
