The Albert Lea Bayside Skiers Waterski Show team winds down its season this weekend with a special Labor Day show. Pre-show activities begin at 1 p.m. and the show at 2 p.m.

The club will be giving away T-shirts, Alliance Pipeline will give away can coolers, and Zogg Dermatology will give away sunscreen.

The Hy-Vee concession stand will serve Pepsi products and Schweigert hot dogs.

This year’s show is &uot;The Legend of Robin Hood &045; Sort Of,&uot; and includes such acts as human pyramids, conventional and strap doubles, trios, ballet line, men’s stomp line, barefoot skiing, wakeboarding and swivel skiing.

The club took its show to the Midwest Regional Water Ski Show Tournament in Waterloo, Iowa, in July, and the Division II Nationals in Rock Island, Ill., in August.

There is no charge to attend, but a freewill offering is received to help the club meet expenses.
