FULL SATURDAY RECAP!
The day included fun for the kids, plenty of daytime music (Mollie B even performed with the Walburg Boys!) and some serious competition during the Stein Holding Contest. Then Saturday night turned up the volume with the 70’s Magic Sunshine Band and The Hype keeping the crowd going strong!

Thanks to everyone who came out and made Saturday one to remember. Prost!
