Entertainment and activities
Jordyn Pollard: A born-and raised prairie girl with the grit of a true farmer’s daughter and the stage presence to match. Known for her infectious personality and powerhouse vocals, Jordyn commands the spotlight with high-octane live shows packed with country bangers, rock ‘n’ roll throw-backs, and of course, hook-filled originals.
Duck Herding: Gisela Griesser has been involved with border collies and sheep herding for over 35 years. To showcase the border collie's versatility, she'll demonstrate her dog's herding skill on a smaller scale, with ducks! You'll learn how stock dogs are trained, how they work and as a practical demonstration, her dogs will help her maneuver the ducks through a variety of obstacles.
Movie in the park: A small goat with big dreams gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to join the pros and play roarball, a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals in the world. Rated PG. 1 hour 40 minutes. See the trailer.
