Circus, learn how to make rope and enter a "Kid Picker'"s jam camp in the Mountain Man village. On Main Stage, Mark Twain Live is presented through the considerable talents of Mike Randall. He travels from New York to spin tales of Tom and Huck, bad habits, political elections, and a famous frog from California on Friday at 9 p.m.
