Cart Game Show
Saturday May 30
ONE HOUR DELAY.
Start time: 10am

Who is ready for the first cart show of the 2026 season this weekend?!
Looks like most of the rain is Friday night so we will have a 1 hour delay to start the show at 10:00am and give the puddles a chance to dissipate a little.

Don’t forget to get signed up today to avoid the late fee. We hope to see you there!

Spectators and volunteers are welcome!
