The most unique competition is our BYOB (Build Your Own Boat) Race. Hilarity is bound to ensue when each team takes it’s mark at the starting line in the Mill Pond. The themed boats are very impressive on land but… will they float?… which one will win? Meet us by the Mill Pond at 4p to join in the fun, or better yet, bring your own handmade boat! Check out our FB page for past races!

Throughout the day there are tons of activities for families & children.

JOHN STEVEN’S DOUBLESHOT BAND

John Stevens’ Doubleshot formed together in January 1995. A young and energetic band releasing their first cassette “Doubleshot Preview” in March 1995. Then in 1996 the band released their first full recording “Come On Let’s Dance” on cassette & compact disc. This recording opened many doors for the band.

In September 1996, Doubleshot had disbanded for a year while members of the band went back to school and found full time jobs. After not playing for almost a year the group got back together in September 1997 releasing their 2nd recording “Everyone’s Having Fun”. This recording got the ball rolling once again for the band. Playing numerous jobs in NY, NJ, CT, MA, DE, OH, PA, IN, RI, NH, FL, MI, MO and as far west as Wisconsin. Infact, in 1997 the song “Everyone’s having Fun” was named number one tune of the year on the Jolly ST. Nick’s Polka Revololution show heard over WPHB 1260AM in Houtzdale,PA

In 2003 the band made the Top 20 list of “BEST NEW SONGS” from 247POLKAHEAVEN.COM at #17 with “GONNA HAVE A PARTY”. Then in 2005 they made the list again at #9 for the song “BACK TO THE SEA”. Also in 2005 the band made the Top 10 from WPNA RADIO (Oak Park,IL) AT #7 for the song “BACK TO THE SEA”.
