This year's event will have a "Western" theme.
Admission is $1 per person. All attendees will be given a bag of goodies.
Attendees can participate for prizes by dressing as a cowboy or cowgirl. Those who show up before 8 p.m. can participate in a costume contest. Attendees can also have their picture taken with a real cowboy.
