A martial arts exhibit was presented by Sensei ‘Habu’ Robert Ewing of Habu Ewing Taekwondo Schools. Dancers of all styles from Kicks and Dance Dimensions studios took the stage, alongside Cheer and Pom Pom teams. The REC Center was on hand with special crafts for the kids and plenty of stage entertainment with Jim Gray and his guitar and vocal students providing entertainment. There were plenty of food vendors and local businesses and community organizations on hand to provide the public with lots of information and fun.
