Children are sure to love the storytellers, magicians and inflatable bounces scattered about. Furthermore, as a specially added bonus, this year’s celebration will also have a Live Sports Tent, where participants can watch their favorite sporting events on 4 flat screen TV’s while simultaneously enjoying the lobster feast.
