Get ready for Twin Lakes annual Libertyfest 2017!
This Free Family Fun will be on Friday June 30th, 5:00 pm until Midnight and Saturday July 1st from Noon until Midnight. As always there will be a food and beverage court offering a variety of goodies, from brats by the Cub Scouts to hot dogs, ice cream, snow cones, cotton candy, funnel cakes, fried snickers and twinkies and more.
New this year is the Euro Bungee Jump for all ages from 20 lbs. to 200 lbs. First you are put into a harness and lifted to a Bongo trampoline, where there is the potential to launch you 25 feet in the air. Like something closer to the ground? Try the Sea Hamsters. Step into an inflated 6’6” diameter ball in a 26’x26’ pool of water and be a human hamster, walking, rolling, and tumbling around on the waters surface. The Hamster Balls will accommodate up to 200 lbs. Inflatables including a large slide will also be at Libertyfest for the younger kids entertainment.
Bingo by the Genoa City Lions Club will be on Friday June 30th from 6:00pm until 9:00pm and Saturday July 1st from 2:00pm until 5:00pm in the food tent.
Friday night will be Country night. Be at the entertainment tent by 5:30 and participate in a 45-minute Country Heat Dance Class Workout. This is a country music inspired workout set to chart topping country music. The moves are so easy it’s like walking but way more fun. Once you are warmed up, you are ready to dance the night away to the country music of Tim Castle and Young Southern, a popular local band. They are a Nashville sound, high energy, super country group. Tim Castle and Young Southern take the stage from 8pm until midnight.
