Prohibit canned nuts in country event (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barn dance

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'country event' is the definition.
'barn dance' can be an answer for 'event' (I have seen 'Social event' mean 'barn dance' so perhaps 'event' could also mean 'barn dance'). I am not sure about the 'country' bit.

'prohibit canned nuts in' is the wordplay.
'prohibit' becomes 'bar' (to bar is to ban or prohibit).
'nuts' is an anagram indicator (nuts can mean crazy).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'canned' anagrammed gives 'ndance'.
'bar' going into 'ndance' is 'BARN DANCE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for barn dance that I've seen before include "Hoedown" , "disco at the farm" , "Country entertainment" , "Rural entertainment" , "Kind of social event with traditional music" .)
