LOVEWELL FUN DAY AUG. 2 ONE OF MANY AUGUST PARK EVENTS

Celebration highlights include archery shoot, mud volleyball, log races, cook-off

July 31, 2008 - The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) and Lovewell Marina at Lovewell State Park are sponsoring the annual Lovewell Fun Day on Saturday, Aug. 2. Events begin with registration for a 3-D archery shoot from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. The tournament will conclude by 11 a.m. Participants will shoot in divisions determined by age and release type (fingers and mechanical). A $5 donation is requested.

A co-ed (3 men/3 women) mud volleyball tournament begins at 10 a.m. for a $10 entry fee per team, 16 team limit. Pre-registration for the mud volleyball tournament is requested as soon as possible.

Other events scheduled for the Fun Day include minnow races at 10 a.m., log races at noon, a water balloon toss at 2 p.m., a waterslide contest at 3 p.m., and a Frisbee-throwing contest at 4 p.m. These events are for all ages.

An outdoor cook-off will be held at the Pioneer Day Use Area. Chefs must register by 2 p.m. at the park office. Judges will include the first 100 people who contribute $5 donations for a taste-testing ticket. Donations are used for prizes at Lovewell State Park's special events throughout the year. Judging tickets will be available at the cook-off area at 5 p.m. Judging will start at 6 p.m. and end by 6:30 p.m.

For more information, contact Lovewell State Park, 785-753-4971. A vehicle permit is required to enter the park. Daily permits are $4.20; annual permits are $24.70.
