Historic Downtown Millersburg has announced plans for their annual Thunder over Holmes County Independence Day Festival, a two-day event that features live music, excellent food, including a pork and chicken barbecue by a local boy scout troop, homemade ice cream, kids’ contests, wandering magic and a stage-show magician performance, face painting, caricature artist, balloon artist, inflatable slide, rock-climbing wall, obstacle course, bounce houses, interactive booths, an American Flag tribute, and Thunder Idol, an American Idol-style competition that offers cash prizes and the opportunity to perform on the Grand Stage at Saturday’s main event. This year’s Thunder also offers a new and entirely unique attraction: outdoor ice skating. Artificial Ice Events, the nation’s largest synthetic ice rental company, sets up and installs artificial ice surfaces that require no water or refrigeration. The plastic ice surfaces are built around a new technology that closely resembles the skating experience of real ice. Skates will be provided for participants, and the attraction is offered free to the public thanks to sponsors Joel Pomerene Hospital and Majora Lane Center. Experience artificial ice for yourself, and skate at the Thunder over Holmes County Independence Day Festival. Most attractions and activities are provided free of charge to the public thanks to event sponsors: the Holmes County Tourism Bureau, the village of Millersburg, Century Link, Holmes County Prevention Coalition, Walmart Supercenter, Joel Pomerene Hospital, Majora Lane Center, The Commercial and Savings Bank, and Rodhe’s IGA.
