Roaring Youth Jam/Duck Race

Mark and Bailey performed at the Roaring Youth Jam again this year! It's always one of their favorite performances. This year they did 'songs through the decades.' It was so awesome! They started with the 50s and ended with the 90s. Bailey has discovered that she loves old music, and has a huge list of older songs she still wants to learn. It was hard for them to narrow it down to a 45 minute set list! It was fun to watch the people walk by. They had a lot of people stop and listen, and this year it wasn't kids...it was a lot of different ages, depending on what era they were on. So fun! Half way through one of their songs, all the power shut off, and then we heard a big explosion and saw a big cloud of brown smoke coming from further down the river. A big transformer must have blown. The sound lady was great, and had them up and running again within a couple minutes.

Their set list was:
50s
Johnny B Goode
Walking After Midnight
60s
I'm a Believer
Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Bad Moon Rising
70s
Jolene
You Light Up My Life
Go Your Own Way
80s
I Wanna Dance With Somebody
Eye of the Tiger
Here Comes The Rain Again
Don't Stop Believin'
Rock This Town
90s
Everything I Do

Cutest duo out there!
I didn't get many pictures of them performing. The sun was right behind them, and it was too bright! 
Cute Hannah came with us, so I didn't have to watch them by myself. Seth came and watched them too. He's so great!
I love listening to them! 
Jolene (from the 70s)

The 80s are so fun! They played 'Here Comes the Rain Again' by the Eurythmics. This was one of my favorite songs growing up!

After they performed, we took the girls out to lunch, and then went back to the river for the duck race! It's so funny! They dump 18,000 rubber ducks into the river, and the duck that goes over the waterfall first wins a truck! 

Waiting for them to drop the ducks!
Hahaha, so funny!
There wasn't much of a current, so it took forever for the ducks to make it to the waterfall this year!

Yay!
