The entertainment will include local dance groups, singing groups, gymnastics, cheerleading and Palm Beach Super Tae Kwon Do. Also on hand will be fire-rescue and law enforcement professionals with safety demonstrations throughout the day.
The feature of the day will be two-time Country Dance World Champions the Chili Chicks, who will be performing from noon to 12:30 p.m. and again from 1:30 to 2 p.m. In between performances, they will sign autographs and give out free Chili Chicks coloring books while supplies last.
