The children's activity center, located in the Ski School Play Yard will keep your youngn's entertained each day from noon until 4:00pm.

Take advantage of great buys from last spring's limited Spyder Sample Sale where 2008-09 Spyder sample merchandise is 30% off suggested retail.
An Oktoberfest isn't complete without the sounds of an Oom Pah Band. From noon until 4:00 pm both Saturday & Sunday the 15 piece Harbour Towne Fest Band guarantees to bring the sounds, dances and enthusiasm of Bavaria to Sugar Mountain.
Bavarian cuisine, including Bratwurst, Knackwurst, Sauerkraut and pretzels will be available starting at 11:00am both Saturday & Sunday. To help wash it down, an ample supply of Spaten beer will generously flow each day until 5:00 pm. Spaten Oktoberfest beer, created in 1872, is the world's first Oktoberfest beer, brewed for the greatest folk festival in the world, the Oktoberfest! If Bavarian cuisine isn't your preference; hot dogs, hamburgers, soda, cotton candy, kettle corn, caramel apples, and other festive foods will be on hand.
