WowWee! It's getting hot out there!
If you're looking for some relief from the heat, come on up to "the top of the hill" where we are climate controlled and are rocking the ac in the lobby! It's cheaper than the water slides and you don't have to change your clothes 😁
We're here to welcome you until 4pm!

To say we appreciate the excitement and the support is the understatement of the century! We'll soon share photos of the event and name the names of all of those who volunteered and helped to make this event the BEST!!
We are currently sold out of Mr Barber's beautiful book and are working with him to get more ASAP!
