Patio CatsDecember 29th

James HarrisonDecember 23rd and 28th

The talented participants in our guests’ most revered entertainment, the Fern Resort Staff Lip Sync Show, are from many departments on the resort. The performance mixes review-style dance routines and impersonations with a holiday twist. The result is a spirited and hilarious 45 minute show. You will love it.

Join us in Bergen’s Theatre as Aaron Paterson performs a series of amazing, mind-blowing feats, each more unbelievable, inspiring and captivating than the last.

Master Ventriloquist Tim Holland is not the only daredevil on the stage, but try doing death-defying stunts while arguing with yourself! Either uncooperative or over-zealous, the Puppets always steal the show.

A stage setup that usually consists of ten guitars (acoustic, electric, 6-string, 12-string and bass), banjo, two mandolins, electric violin, piano/keyboard, saxophone, kick drum, snare, bongos, chimes, shakers and an arsenal of harmonicas is only the beginning of Jamie Williams’s amazingly diverse level of entertainment.

Sometimes known as the CRONK, Jim Cronk continues to wow audiences as a one man musical extravaganza. As a solo performer, Jim creates one of a kind entertainment experiences. He sings, he plays, he’s funny, he’s cute, best of all he’s entertaining, and available!

Specializing in classics, and soon-to-be classics, these two guitarists are great fun and create just the atmosphere for listening, singing, dancing and enjoying. You will love their talent and song list.

As a pickpocket magician, James borrows pens, watches, wallets, ties, and even belts from willing (and unwilling) audience members. Before you can yell

Ferntastic Entertainment!

“thief”, James has returned the valuables to their rightful owners, occasionally making them reappear in very unexpected places.

Blue Beaker transforms laboratory science into fun, interactive learning experiences for kids of all ages, even adults. It is kind of like tricking children into learning. From leaf-blower hovercraft to fancy burp machines, Blue Beaker keeps children engaged and having fun through the whole experimental process.

Speaking of Wildlife is a leader in native species education. We keep up to date with current issues surrounding wildlife within the province and our interpreters are renowned for their ability to speak to the many varied faces of Ontario. We have programs developed for any age/learning level, which are both enlightening and entertaining. It is the integration of live-animal emissaries into our programming and the interactive nature of our teaching that really impacts our audiences. Speaking of Wildlife has something for everyone.

Join pickpocket magician James Harrison for his captivating magic class where are will let you in on his secrets. James will train you to perform magic tricks yourself so you can wow your friends and family.
