During A Magical Moment with Devon Murray and Paula DuPre’ Pesmen, Devon Murray and Paula DuPre’ Pesmen will be sharing their stories and answering fan questions. Each ticketed guest will be entered to win an Alivan’s Scarlet Falcon broom signed by Paula and Devon.

A Fire and Ice Motor Vehicle Showcase will showcase unique vehicles including ATVs, snow cats, cycles, fire trucks, and more.  An individual car on display will be the Weasley family car from the first Harry Potter movie; you can grab a picture for a small donation to the non-profit “There with Care.”

A fireworks display will happen each night of the festival.  The main stage near Railroad will be the ideal spot to grab a seat.

The kids are not only going to love looking at all the sculptures, listening to the great music but there will also be a carousel at the family fun zone which is located on 4^th St. between Lincoln and Jefferson.  Free carriage rides will also be available.
