Aerials competition and a turbo hog shoot, which has to be seen.  Here are some picts of the kids at the turbo hog and aerials.  Both events have a kids line up to lead off the competition. since they are the most fun to watch I only took picts of them.

         

       

There are camping sites available, though there are not hook ups for wheeled campers.
         

There is also a lobster dinner on Saturday night.  If you have ever wanted to take a vacation to Maine.  This might be an event to plan to attend next year.  Hotels are not too far away in Brunswick, or Maine's shopping meca, Freeport.
