…and even civilians will have a chance to compete!

Think obstacle courses, a mini softball tournament, and yes—TUG OF WAR for the bragging rights. There’s even a rumored donut-eating contest. It’s free to attend, and shirts are earned—not handed out.

Whether you’re throwing down or just cheering on your crew, bring your lawn chairs and join us for a full day of fun, rivalry, and old-school community pride. Let’s find out who takes the title… and whose shirt gets stolen.

Want to help or sponsor to make this even bigger and better? Call 479-453-9099 or email info@prodigalheroes.org
