For dads, the Super 14 will be shown on big screen TV’s in the beer tent, whilst the ladies will be tempted with oysters and champagne, cheese and olives, chocolate and cupcakes and so much more!

“Roll up your jeans, hitch up your skirt, and loose the shoes! Hop into an oak barrel, and start stomping!”

Several schools, businesses and churches are participating in the day’s events and are encouraged to enter teams to stomp against each other!
