TEXAS THE BAND
September 10th - 18th

    In the great tradition of the traveling road show of yesteryear, but with a 21st century edge, TEXAS THE BAND brings a fresh perspective to the world of entertainment.
    In an age where live shows have taken a back seat to television, video games and computers, TEXAS THE BAND has recaptured the spirit of those days when a night out with the fanmily was a memorable event.
    Guaranteed to please all ages, TEXAS THE BAND will bring you music and comedy ranging from nostalgic to '90's.  In one fun-filled evening, you'll experience almost every style of music imaginable, world-class ventriloquism, and hilarious impersonations of starts past and present.

 
 

THE BASS TUB
September 10th - 18th

    Many people have never had the opportunity to observe a fish strike a bait or actually se one get caught.  The 50 foot BASS TUB allows you to see just that.
    The giant mobile aquarium stands over 9 feet tall, totally visible from both sides and is complete with rocks, stumps and things you normally find in a lake where you fish.  The 5,000 gallon tub is stocked with real live fish including bass, crappie, perch, white bass, catfish and others.
    The BASS TUB isoperated by professional fishermen who stand on top in a small boat and delight in teaching you how to fish, passing on tips they have learned over the years.  They make presentations of various types of lures so you can see their operation in the water.  You'll enjoy the reaction of fish to the lures and you will learn how to better handle each type.  Fishing really comes alive when you get a close-up view of a big bass striking a lure.

 

XTREME AIR
September 10th - 18th

Xtreme Air is a very fast paced exciting stunt thrill show.  Xtreme Air uses the latest high tech stunt equipment, including the first and only performance of rail grinds flipping on and off trampolines, of which Xtreme Air is the originator.   Stuntmen use a 50' long Power Track tumbling machine to flip, fly, and twist over and under each other while performing  Xtremely difficult combinations.  A modified high performance Russian Swing serves as a human catapulting machine that sends stuntmen tumbling and twisting over 50' in the air, while executing world record triple and quadruple somersaults.  Their lives are then put in the hands of their teammates who catch them in a small net.  The Stunt High Fall Tower, known to make your heart skip a beat, stands at over 85' in the air.  Stuntmen dive off into an airbag that stands at only 8' high, while performing acrobatic stunt high falls.  Imagine looking down from the top of an 85' tower only to see an airbag smaller than the size of a little pizza box, as your landing pad.  The nonstop action, interlaced with breathtaking stunts, bellyaching comedy, unprecedented acrobatics, and fun all are put together to form a complete story line.  You will see more stunts in this 30 minute show, than in a two hour action movie!!!

 
 

 

 

 

The Fischer family has been competing and producing lumberjack shows for over 60 years.   The Fischer's are from Stillwater, Minnesota, which had twenty-three saw mills running at the turn of the century.  The annual cut that came down the St. Croix River to Stillwater in 1888 was over 300,000,000 log feet.  Enough logs stacked end to end to go around the world more than two times. "Grandpa" Harold Fischer started the Fischer tradition learning the lumberjack skills from the men that worked the forest.  Since then the family has won over 30 World & National titles in Lumberjack competition.  The Fischer's have appeared nationally on ABC's Wide World of Sports, The Home Show, ESPN, Jacque Cousteau & PM Magazine.
