The event schedule is 9 am to 9pm each day and the admission fee is $20 for adults, $5 for children under 12. The admission fee includes the special country music concert on Friday from 3:30pm – 5pm.
The Friday night concert will feature Country music star Jerrod Niemann and singer song writer Rob Hatch.
Neimann has released several albums and some of his songs include the feel-good jam, “I Got This,” the uplifting duet “A Little More Love” (with Lee Brice) and the classy romance of “God Made a Woman.” From Academy of Country Music, Country Music Association and CMT Award nominations, to headlining and touring with some of Country’s hottest acts – Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, and Keith Urban – Niemann continues to make his mark by creatively pushing boundaries while still offering a sincere nod to the legends before him.
Hatch is a talented songwriter with hits that include his first #1 song, “If Heaven Wasn’t So far Away” recorded by Justin Moore in 2008. In 2014, he was named as the SESAC Songwriter of the year fueled by his 2 number 1 songs, “Goodnight Kiss” by Randy Houser and “I Don’t Dance” by Lee Brice which was awarded the 2014 ACM’s Single Of The Year and has since went double platinum. In 2020 Hatch co-founded his independent record label “Pump House Records” with longtime friend Lee Brice.
