Scheduled events include a Vehicle Blindfold Obstacle Course, Motorcycle/Quad Obstacle Course, Truck/Jeep Teeter-Totter, Vehicle Articulation Ramp, Paint Ball Arcade, kids games, drawings, manufactures displays and live entertainment Friday and Saturday evenings. A prize drawing is scheduled for Saturday night.
