Event Summary
What a great excuse to get together with your riding and non-riding friends to wrap up the summer - FOR FREE! Don't worry about traveling this weekend, come lay on the beach, ride, camp, and have a good time. The Colorado Wakeboard Festival will consist of free cable riding for everyone, and many fun-filled events, including several cable-related contests, mini "funstruction" Raley and Spin clinics, trampoline sessions, free coaching, and free equipment demos. There will also be several crowd games and contests, including High Stakes Corn Hole (Bean Bag Toss), a Trampoline Contest, and a Trailer Backing Contest in the main parking lot! And you never know what pros might show up :) .

Please be an upstanding citizen and limit any rowdiness and/or alcohol consumption since we are likely to have little ones onsite. We don't want to have to make it "not fun" for anyone so help us out and keep it PG rated and in control while the little ones are present.

Although, not part of the actual the event, the Labor Day Holiday will be continued through Sunday and Monday with 50% off all cable activities on both days. For those that wish to camp, you can set up inside the pool complex or just behind the pool complex building. (We'll show you where.)

Other Event Details
•It is a smart idea to bring chairs, shade, and sunscreen, as you will need them - and feel free to set up under any tents we have set up.

•Small, friendly dogs are always welcome (please clean up after your pet). Never leave pets unattended.

•In the event of poor weather, MHW will bump the event to the next morning or if that option is not available to us, we will entertain you until it passes over. We'll do our best to keep everyone out of the sun and rain and keep it fun! The dates we have picked are usually pretty great for weather but you never know.

•The event will start exactly on time and we will do our best to keep it moving as quickly and efficiently as possible.

•Contest riders should bring their own board, life vest, and gear but plan ahead with us if you will need equipment.

•We have developed these events to be family-friendly. Please pick up after yourself, behave yourself, do not park in areas that block others, and have courtesy and respect for others around you, as well as the lake property. Note local drinking laws within parks and/or cities. Please note that any music played should be PG rated and radio friendly. Help us out and don't make us be the bad guys!

•MHW can always use photographers and other volunteers at each contest/event. If you are personable and can snap a photo, or would like to help with other activities, let us know. We fund these events entirely on our own so we need all the help we can get!

•Lastly, we conduct these events just for you! If you have constructive feedback and would like your voice to be heard, call or email us (moreinfo at milehighwakeboarding.com) your suggestions.
