WHATS ON
Entertainment for 2024 is in the planning stage.
For the Kids
Fun, fun, Fun
This year we will again have a Kermis (Carnival) and an entry ticket ($10) for children, entitles them to unlimited rides all day. The rides will be inside the pavilion so weather will not be an issue. For a small extra charge there will be: Face Painting, (maybe -Pony Rides & Petting Zoo), Sand Painting, a free photo booth, children’s games and Kees Honden. Dogs on a lead and responsibly cared for, are welcome. Teenagers will also be asked to pay $10 entry and for that they will be able to compete in the Sjoelbak competition (multiple times) for great prizes, play mini-golf, challenge each other on the Meltdown challenge and we are working on more.
