One of Main

Street Fayetteville's most successful events is the July Jam. This year

the Jam has been extended to two days and will feature more rides and

activities for the whole family.

July Jam kicks

off at 10 a.m. Saturday morning and will last until 10 p.m. Saturday evening.

All kids' rides and craft and food booths will be open throughout the

evening this year. This is the first time that the operating hours have

been extended into the evening.

Some of the

rides this year include a Ferris Wheel, Round Up, the Bear Affair, Granny

Bug and tempest. Kids can also enjoy "The titanic Slide," Noah's

Arc, a giant obstacle course, a giant sandbox, a trackless train and the

"Rain Room." There will also be two moonwalks sponsored by Shoe

Carnival.

Radio Disney

will be on hand from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday with a Kids Tent. There will

be lots of fun contests and games inside the tent. Along with the rides

and the radio Disney tent, there will also be puppet shows and puppet

making workshops, a magic show and local entertainment.

The big concert

on Saturday night is the return of last years' headlining band, The Coastline

Band. People can take a refresher course in shag dancing at 7 p.m. and

then try out their new moves when the concert begins at 8 p.m.

"They've

been referred to as the 'future of Carolina Beach Music,' and whether

you're there to dance, listen or just watch the band perform, you bet

on having a good time," said Main Street Manager Nancy Price.

Admission to

July Jam, which will be held in the Stonewall Complex in downtown Fayetteville,

is free. All proceeds from the event go toward funding the historical

renovation and revitalization efforts within the Main Street district.
