Doodlebugs Friday,
September 8 Saturday, September 9 Doodlebugs are back by popular demand! A doodlebug is a truck that has been modified to give it pulling power. The machines compete to see who can drag the heaviest load on a stone boat three feet in one continuous motion. |
Circus Stella Saturday-Sunday Circus Stella, starring Jayna Lee and Adam Lowe, is packed with the excitement only the circus can bring to town! They'll be strolling through the lanes on their stilts. Be sure to see the show this year, featuring the aerial acrobatics of Jayna Lee on both static trapeze and aerial silks. Adam Lowe will amaze you as he shows off his fire-eating skills. There will be juggling, balancing, acrobatics and stunts presented with light-hearted family-friendly comedy. Don't miss their death-defying bed of nails finale and see what they do with an average bowling ball. (Hint: Neither of them can actually bowl!) Stick around to say hi and let Adam and Jayna charm you into running away with the circus!

Roderick Russell
Saturday-Sunday One of only 50 living sword swallowers in the entire world, Roderick Russell has been described as strangely sophisticated, successfully blending suggestion and psychology with his own personal mind-over-body techniques. Roderick also deftly navigates deep into the minds of the audience to create the most personal and profound type of theater experience. Call him a sword swallower. Call him a mentalist. ABC News calls him a "rare find."

Unprepared Six-man team, we've been writing and playing our own material around the state....hoping to get our sound out there. It's an inspired mix of 90's alternative, with hints of classic/southern rock/jam band vibes and moments of 70's and 80's flair....and, once in awhile, an epic ballad. |
