Event details
Since this is geared for full family participation, we encourage both our Youth Fighters and adults to enter our tourneys on the second. There will be small prizes for the victors to present to their significant other. The tourneys will feature "audience participation" in that each fighter, both youth and adult, will be encouraged to pick a child from the audience to fight for. (Each child will get a flower in recognition of this honor, and the winner will get a rose to present to his/her "other", with an additional small prize for the "S.O.".
We have the use of the gazebo, and our 20X30 Green & White will be there for shelter, but pop-ups are also encouraged. Folding chairs will also be provided.
Site Opens: 8:00 for setup
Site Closes: 6:00 for breakdown
