The fun continues on Sunday with carnival rides and games for the thrills as well as an opportunity drawing. Wander the booths and hang out in the beer and wine garden.
The weekend features lots of entertainment, with the Tricia Freeman Band capping things off Sunday night. There will be bands and community groups playing throughout the day.
And then there are the fish dinners that will be served up throughout.
