Dr. Wassenstein’s Side Show is this coming Saturday! Do you have your ticket yet? We sold out last year and we don’t want you to be shut out. Our signature event has become a popular venue in our area for the Halloween season. Not your typical black cat and pumpkins theme, we look to celebrate things more unique. Back by popular demand, D.J. Vourteque will be doing his stuff and new acts; Ringmaster Zeb will lead the night while Titano Strongman and Scarlett Storm, national side show performers will be taking the stage to amaze us with their feats of daring. Get those costumes finished! We’ll have a cash costume contest for the best ones. Tickets on sale now through Saturday and possibly at the door.
