The Kids Fun Zone, complete with inflatable bounce houses and face painting, is designed with families in mind, offering activities that will keep the youngest attendees smiling all day long.
Vehicle Showcases
One of the highlights of Leap to Lane is the Car, Truck, Tractor, and Motorcycle Show. Attendees can stroll through rows of vintage and modern vehicles, admire restored classics, and chat with local owners about their unique rides.
Games, Challenges, and More
Festival-goers can test their skills in the cornhole tournament, try to dunk a local celebrity at the dunk tank, or cheer on participants in the Fireman’s Challenge, an event showcasing the skills of Alpena, Woonsocket and Wessington Springs Volunteer Fire Departments. Horse and buggy rides will also be available.
Silent Auction and Raffles
The event will also feature a silent auction, boasting a variety of goods and services donated by local businesses and residents, as well as gun and hog raffles.
