Chop’s Teen Center
“The Rolling Bones” – handcar kinetic sculpture #3 for Chop’s Teen Club! Rubbing their hands with wacky delight, the guest artists asked the teens, “What do you want to build?” Ready for the challenge, the teens huddled together, stood up with tools in hand, and began working side by side with the guest artists – to build a skeleton laying on the bottom of the ocean… with a man inside and a treasure chest? Or maybe some seaweed and gold coins? A mermaid? Come to the Regatta to see the plan in action! Chop’s Teen Club: Saunter by and “Get Your Mustache ON” and Spin the Wheel of Dr. Spoke and Gear (distant uncle of Erasmus P. Kitty), Complete the Challenge and Win a Prize!

Zippy Town – Miniature 1950s town in a classic vintage trailer! The closer you look the more you see! A three-story house that’s upside down–even the interior furnishings and car in the driveway. A hospital just for babies. An drive-in theater with animated screen. A campground with glowing campfires. A real carnival and circus. And much more! Dozens of buildings and vintage cars make this amazingly detailed town a must-see! $1 dollar admission charge.
