Saturday – August 20th

SATURDAY MORNING & DAYTIME

Our annual Pet Parade will start the day where locals can come and strut with their pet down the cat walk. This year the Animal Shelter’s Mobile adoption unit will be on location with some of their special friends. You can enjoy playing with these special pets and even adopt them to take home with you.

Our Fittest Kid in the County event will be a great way to get the kids and grown ups out for some activities that will enhance our well being with some of the fun new things such as:

  • Bootie Beat
    A high-energy fitness class that incorporates drumming on stability balls for a great cardio workout!  This class if fun and energetic and great for any age and fitness level.
  • Zumba
    This is a latin-inspired fitness class where dance moves (such as The Salsa and the Meranga) are put together to a mix of Latin and Hip-Hop music for a fun workout!  It’s more than just exercise… it’s a party! Sponsored by Body of Stone.
  • Other activities during this event include:
    • Egg-and-Spoon Relay Races
    • Hula Hoop Pass
    • Crab Race
    • Mix-It-Up Relay Race
    • Drop the Penny
    • Water Relay Races
    • Three-Legged Race * Sponsored by Minuteman Press

Our Annual Corn Hole Tournament, sponsored by 15INC and Jeff Shepperd continues to grow each year and this year should be the best yet. This free tournament has great cash prizes and is loaded with friendly competition and good wholesome down home fun.
