Moving in from Chicago, newcomer Ren McCormack is in shock when he discovers the small Midwestern town he now calls home has made dancing and rock music illegal.

Lisa of DogMaster Distillery is the relative newcomer this year, having lived in Columbia for twelve years. She loves it here because “it’s the perfect blend of small town and big city”. If you see her out for happy hour, she’ll take a whiskey, please. She can’t recall the first movie she saw at Ragtag but the most recent was one of her favorites, WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. Her pizza allegiance lies with Tony’s and her hidden talent is cooking.
