At the Arena Stage,

COME SEE ALL THE FUN!


NEW! Service Auction

Need something done at home, a car repair, financial advice, a haircut, facial, or something else? Come bid for services from businesses owned by Central members.  Win the bid, and not only do you get the service, but your purchase will support a child going to camp, one of Central’s missionaries, or a local outreach. Stop by the registration table at the covered arena to sign up and pick up a paddle!


NEW! Fall Favorites Cook-off

Come see some Central members compete by cooking up the tastiest fall favorite! They will be selecting from the provided ingredients, and hopefully tickle the palates of our three illustrious judges to win the top prize.

NEW! Central To Go "Minute to Win It"

Central to Go groups are having a fun, friendly competition. Our small groups will compete in one - minute games. In a few short minutes, one entire Central to Go group will win a catered meal for one of their weekly meetings.  Come cheer on your favorite team members!

Animals of all sizes

Whether you are walking the property checking out the camels and zebras or talking to a parrot and petting a pig, your family will understand why the location is called an ark.
