Plus the NEW 150 feet long and fast Super Mega Ride-n-Slide, a Spider Climber, and Giant Jump Pad! Kids of all ages can see tractors and our other farm equipment. Some attractions at extra charge. There will be Sinkland's hand dipped ice cream and kettle corn. Have your face painter design a specialty to wear throughout the day. Enjoy live music with adult beverages and food trucks on-site.
