New this year…Waterfront Follies! Make a splash at the Splashdance Waterfront Follies! Retrieve from memory that song, skit, costume drama, juggling act, pageant, acrobatic routine, tableau vivant, dance routine, poem, animal act, water dance, standup comedy - alone or with friends - to perform at the Waterfront Follies on Saturday following lunch.

The swimming dock and lake magically become your stage, where you play to the applause and adulation of teeming throngs on the beach! This is your chance to shine in the sun-and make a BIG SPLASH!

We need floating things for the Waterfront Follies. Please bring: inflatable rafts, inflatable toys, noodles, innertubes, waterwings, inflatable pool toys, beachballs, etc…Anything that floats. Look for signup at registration!

Saturday Pot Luck Please remember to bring a generous portion for the Saturday potluck, with reheating instructions attached and your name on your dish and serving spoon so we can make sure it gets back to you.

If you play music, remember to bring your instrument. If you call dances, remember to bring your dance cards.

If you have any questions or concerns, you are welcome to email splashdance@oldfarmersball.com or call 828-768-6825.
