younger kids, and a dunk tank that always has someone in it that
deserves to get dunked. This year there might even be one of the
high school coaches there for a little while so don't miss it. There is
also free parking and plenty of open space for tents and tailgating
though out the day. If you need to get away for a short time Rayner
