In conjunction with the Capitol Bicentennial Celebration, the Jaycees present several bands and activities including rock climbing, mazes and inflatables. Perhaps the most unusual and exciting, Wii-rock, is the Recycled Records/Game Crazy Wii Rock Band Contest. From 5-8 p.m. on Friday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday, teams of four can sign up at Recycled Records on Adams or Game Crazy on Sangamon Avenue to vie for $100, $50 and $25 cash prizes and a chance to claim the title as top Wii Rock Band in Springfield. If you want to watch the competition, rock and roll on down to Fourth and Capitol Saturday.
