Tent Decorating Contest
For even more fun, compete in the themed tent decorating contest. Creativity abounds with themed tents. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. The theme for 2017 is “Oh the Places You’ll Go.” Think tourism or Dr. Seuss-ical themes. Two prizes will be awarded at intermission – one for best Premier Performance (hasn’t won in the recent past) and Encore! for best overall design. Click here for information about tent rentals.
Fireworks
During the final song, Stars and Stripes Forever, enjoy a spectacular fireworks display. The fireworks are truly beautiful, especially when reflected in Chetola Lake. Be sure not to miss this magical event! It’s always well worth the wait!
