Stage Combat Demo
Dominick Veldman and friends will perform an eye-popping demo of sword play. This year’s theme is “what not to do when walking into a bar.” Prepare to hiss, applaud, laugh, and marvel!

Four Pints Shy
Toe-tapping, raucous, beer-swigging, and inspiring. These are only a few of the adjectives that can be used to describe this talented and energetic band. Playing a mix of Irish and other folk tunes with rowdy vocals, sweet harmonies and an infectious beat, they’re a hit everywhere they perform!
