There will be a Bounce House as well as a bunch of games to be played for all ages including slingshot monkeys, spinning bananas, and a water balloon toss. A prize booth will be available for gamers who accumulate a fair amount of tokens which you can win by playing at any of the game booths. We will also have a banana cream pie eating competition with a grand prize, local youth performers, Nate the Great the juggler and balloon creations by Cayuga Twister.
