Missed the car show this year, and didn't find any petting zoo. The watermelon was delicious, and my son enjoyed the buggy ride, tho i thought it could have been longer. Over all I have to agree with Barbara, I hope the fireworks tonight are not a dud!!

Was nothing like last year. The marching bands and different floats were good and exciting. The kids were having a good time and they worked hard on the stuff they did.

I thought it was good fun. The kids did crafts, bounced on the various inflatable whatnots (the dodgeball one was the fave), saw a new Sparky the clown show, ate free watermelon, and pet the horses. It was a great time really. We were sad the petting zoo was not there, but that's life. Can't wait to go out there to light fireworks and watch the big Sertoma ones!

Besides no car show, the petting zoo that was advertised was not there, nor were there any of the many other activities that had lined the river in years past. A few jumpy rides and the water slide for the kids, the band and beer garden for the adults. Im not a kid, I dont drink and we dont dance. So we brought our wet kids home and hope that the fireworks arent the dud the rest of the day was.

Was wondering why there is no car show this year .. the fee of 25$ to enter a car in an out door show with minimal awards last year was kind of steep i thought thats probaly why there wasn't many entries last year/ In my opinion keep cutting events and soon the attendance will dwindle to nill
