Wendesday Fair Schedule - August 21st, 2013

It's fair time and one of this year's attractions is the "Bear Mountain" show!

Bear Mountain is an upbeat, entertaining and educational show that will keep the attention of adults and children alike as they watch and learn about different species of bears and are enlightened by surprises during the show itself!

During the "Bear Mountain" show you will meet 5 different bears: Giza, Nanook, Tutter, Nemo and Zuzu. Each bear will surprise you with their different abilities, talents and intelligence.

The Bear Mountain family is made up of Syrian Brown bears Ð A species not well known to most people but loved, reared and respected by the "Bear Mountain" Family!

"Bear Mountain" has dedicated over 30 years to the care and well being of the bear species by providing a healthy, safe and secure environment where humans and animals live and work together in cooperation.

For over 30 years, Bohm has performed thousands of tricks and illusions. Bob says, "It's not the magic tricks that keeps me going, its the thrill of knowing that people are enjoying themselves and being entertained by what I do. In other words, during my performance, I love to see people having fun and "Experience The Wonder" of magic.

The Magic of Bob Bohm is a journey along a fine line between illusion and reality and where those two meet, it's called...magic! Come Experience the Wonder with The Magic of Bob Bohm, amazing magic, illusion and variety shows, packed with wholesome entertainment for the whole family.

This completely unique show involves audience members of all ages and engages them in silly games of skill to hilarious results.

The game sounds simple enough: Audience volunteers are cast as members of the crew from the old "Gilligan's Island" TV show. To the cheers and applause of their fellow audience members, contestants find themselves eating bugs (Gummi bugs, that is), spinning hula hoops, dancing the limbo, yelling like Tarzan, and more.

As the comic contests unfold, cast and audience find themselves tense with suspense at one moment, then bowled over with laughter the next. The challenges narrow down the number of contestants to the final two, then the audience votes to crown a champion. In the end, every contestant goes home with a prize - and every audience member with delightful memories.
