We are excited for this weekend! Some valuable feedback given was that our flyer did not disclose the cost of the wristband. We have corrected that and updated the flyer to have most relevant + recent information.

🎯 Wristbands are $10. With the purchase of a wristband, you will have full access to the inflatables, carnival games, and prizes associated.

There will be FREE cotton candy, popcorn, entertainment, and giant classic games like Kerplunk, Guess Who, Tetris Jumble, and even a FREE mini putt! ⛳

We have also attached the dunk tank lineup! 3 throws are $5, and the fun is unlimited! 💦
