STAGE PRESENTERS & FEATURED GUESTS

The Duct Tape Guys

Friday, Feb. 24 at 3:00 & 6:00 pm

Saturday, Feb. 25 at 1:00 & 4:00 pm

Sunday, Feb. 26 at 12:00 & 2:00 pm

The Duct Tape Guys are Tim Nyberg and Jim Berg - two everyday guys who have dedicated their lives to duct tape.  As the authors of seven books documenting well over five thousand real and wacky uses for duct tape, Jim and Tim are constantly on the lookout for wildly creative uses of "The Ultimate Power Tool." Their newest book, "Stump the Duct Tape Guys" joins six others. 

The Duct Tape Guys are popular radio and television show guests as they motor-mouth their way through the praises of duct tape.  Their bizarre prop comedy has gotten them airtime on most major television broadcast and cable networks.  

They have been presenters at many home and garden shows across the country and you can visit their massive online tribute to duct tape at www.DuctTapeGuys.com.

Mike McGrath

Saturday, Feb. 25 at 2:00 & 5:00 pm

Sunday, Feb. 26 at 1:00 & 3:00 pm

Mike McGrath hosts the weekly, nationally syndicated Public Radio show "You Bet Your Garden."  YBYG airs every Saturday morning on Public Radio stations across the country and SiriumXM radio.  A large listener base also tunes in worldwide via the Internet and the show is available as a podcast the the YBYG website.

An hour of "chemical-free horticultural hijinks," You Bet Your Garden airing out of WHYY-FM in Philadelphia offers fiercely organic advice to gardeners far and wide.  Mike offers tips on fending off garden and household bests with the use of toxic chemicals, caring for lawn and landscapes without losing your mind, and growing without groaning in tough conditions like extreme heat, unending rain and lousy soil.

Mike will present multiple shows each day on popular topics like composting, tomato growing and chemical free lawn care.
