There’s even more fun to be had, though, as the Carolina Choo Choo Train will be offering children rides, Mincey’s Miniature Horses will have pony rides available, Senor Frogs is hosting Kids Karaoke, QRock radio will be hosting an open house and IMAZ 3D will be taking free green screen photos where kids will get to be the star of the scene.

On March 20th, 2010, the 3rd Annual Taste of the Coast is scheduled at Barefoot Landing from 11am-4pm. This event will highlight local restaurants and attendees will be able to sample their specialties.

The band “Diversity” will also be providing live entertainment throughout the event.
