On June 30, 1971, Mitchell and Michael were born (and a nation rejoiced). At the age of ten, they were bitten by the magic bug; soon after, things began appearing and disappearing…coins, rabbits…people. In 1989, Double Vision turned professional, and since that time they have taken their show across Canada and the United States. Performing professionally for over 17 years across North America, Michael and Mitchell have the experience to deliver a clean performance with audience participation, laughter and astounding magic. Their stage show takes full advantage of the identical twin aspect. Whether demonstrating the incredibly funny mental connection between the twins or releasing the "hidden entertainer" in their volunteers, Double Vision's stage show is something you won't soon forget. |

Sure to be one the most memorable and talked-about attractions at Wyoming's Big, these hands-on interactive educational presentations are a hit for kids and adults of all ages.
The hands-on milking demonstration allows fair-goers to actually milk a cow by hand. Participants receive a sticker announcing that they milked a cow at the fair; fun for both children and adults. Along with the dairy cows are several calves that can be petted and fed. Some of the calves are the babies of the cows that are milking and fair-goers can bottle-feed them. Patrons can also watch eggs hatch into baby chickens each day of the fair. People marvel at the process and many comment that it is the first time they have seen a chicken hatch. This display delights young and old alike. The petting zoo also includes a display of egg producing hens and a farmyard flock of ducks, geese, chickens, and other poultry. |

The idea of the sea lion show originated when Squalus started taking in beached sea lions who where unable to be returned to the wild due to age or injuries and unable to provide food for themselves. Squalus provides a permanent home for these sea lions for the rest of their lives. This show is the only traveling sea lion show in the United States. Squalus, Inc. ensures that the sea lions have more square footage of water per animal in the show than most sea lions have in the zoos. The animals' welfare and comfort is always placed first. Their transportation was designed specifically for the maximum comfort of the sea lions.
The natural exhibit is presented in a tropical setting with rocks, palm trees, waterfalls, foliage and two pools. One pool where the sea lions can be observed under water and one pool outside with a top view. The exhibit is situated so that the animals can be viewed from all sides during the show and also during breaks. Marco and Philip Peters have been recognized by millions of people for their always unique and exciting shows and exhibits. Let us invite you to their latest unique creation the Sea Lion Splash Show. Showtime! Surfer Joe, trainer and host of the show, takes you through a thirty-minute spell binding show where he brings out the natural comedic behavior of these animals. These behaviors include in and out of water actions, balancing, catching and retrieving objects, handstands, dancing, singing and interaction with the audience. The show is geared around educating the audience on the habits and nature of the sea lions with a lot of comedy thrown in. Sea lions are natural performers and will ad lib without prompting, stealing the show with their cute mischief. The finale of the show provides the audience a magical moment with a close sea lion encounter. Whether Showtime or not, sea lions will continuously provide entertainment by being their natural selves. |
