Pedal Pullers Kids Pedal Tractors

Super-modified, high performance, ground shaking pedal tractors. What more could a child ask for? These are not your father’s pedal tractors. Geared wa-a-a-a-y down, big wheels to sit wa-a-a-a-y up, these monsters are impressive to look at and a dream to drive. And the kids get all the fun!
This is not your Granddaddy's Tractor!
Whether you like your tractors green or blue, or something else, Pedal Pullers has the iron for you. Pullers have pulled over 400 lbs. the full length of the track. Starting at 75 lbs. for four-year olds, the weight increases for older kids, and increases even more for each round. If you pull the full distance, 25 feet, you come back for the next round and pull even more. How much can you pull, and how far can you pull it?

Puppets and Players

Welcome to the world of imagination. As you watch a show presented by The Puppets & Players Little Theatre, it is easy to imagine yourself in some long ago, faraway land, as the marionettes move gracefully across the stage in this enchanting, one-of-a-kind, Italian Baroque Puppet Theater. The stage itself is fully equipped with high quality speakers and sound system, lighting and special effects all to help create a magical event for any occasion. All you have to do is invite your guests. The colorful characters are captivating as they sing and dance their way through wild and sometimes dangerous adventures. The stories are usually adaptations of familiar fairy tales. A glittering rainbow magically drop from the sky and dancing flowers may surprise you while silly scarecrows dance a jig. Wicked witches disappear in a puff of smoke and pirates that swashbuckle and boast, but never you mind… there’s always a “Happily Ever After.”
