Family Fun Entertainment
As always, the Turkey Festival will provide a full slate of family fun entertainment. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the shows. All the acts will take place under the entertainment tent, so don’t worry about the weather!
Rachel's Hippo
Friday, June 12, 7-9 p.m.
 Originally formed in 1993, Rachel's Hippo was a downtown Peoria staple band. After a good four year run, everybody went off to school, or started new careers or families. In November 2003 the Eric(h)'s –the only original members remaining in the Peoria area – reformed "The Hippo Band". Their “new” set list is centered on old Hippo standards, 80's pop songs, and just stuff that generally makes ears happy!

Hip Pocket
Saturday, June 13, 8-10 p.m.
 Hip Pocket has been playing their brand of Blues and classic rock since 1986 out of their home base of Central Illinois. They have shared the stage with some of greatest performers of true American Music including BB King, Etta James, Marcia Ball, and Delbert McClinton. They have performed at three Presidential Inaugurations and recorded five CDs and have a double DVD that chronicles their first 16 years.
They span the genres of blues and rock because it’s what they know. It all makes ultimate sense in the long run as they weave their way through blues standards like “Mustang Sally” or “Hey Bartender” then hit you with rock classics like “Rocky Mountain Way” and “Vehicle”. They certainly haven’t been around this long because of their good looks and charm, it’s because they play great tunes and sound really good doing it. Your ears won’t bleed after their show and you will have a great time listening, dancing, and forgetting about the world outside for a few hours and that’s why they do what they do.

The Coco Loco Band
Sunday, June 14, 12:30 - 4:30 p.m.
Coco Loco provides a high-energy, no prisoners, tropical escape for landlocked corporate types and those seeking the adventure and relaxation of warm weather destinations afar. Like blending the perfect "Strawberry Smoothie", the band mixes in songs by Jimmy Buffett and other tropically inspired artists to weave a hammock of tunes that blend in all the elements of a tropical getaway. Warm weather, sun, surf, turkey sandwiches, strawberry shortcake, a soothing strawberry smoothie, distant ports of call and all-out no apologies revelry help transport Coco Loco fans to a place where as one song says.... "Troubles I forgot 'em....I buried 'em in the sand.
