For 2022, the main attraction is the All-American Lumberjack Show presented by American Roofing Company. The lumberjacks hail from Minnesota and put on a terrific show with two men competing in ten events. Plus, they offer a kids camp after each show–kids can try to roll on the logs in the giant pool Jim Fischer and his crew set up. It’s great fun for the entire family and a must-see up close.
The event kicks off on Saturday, April 30th at 11 AM and on Sunday at 1 PM. Admission is $5 and children under 2 are free. There will be free parking at the event.
