There’s no question; it’s all about kickball in Rose Creek.
Rose Creek Fun Days will continue its kickball tradition for the ninth year in a row with a 16-team adult tournament, along with tournaments for kids, all on Friday, July 12.
Last year, event coordinators limited adults to 16 teams, as the competition was creeping well past nighttime.
“It was going until the wee hours of the morning,” said Wendy Landherr, event coordinator.
Of course, Rose Creek wouldn’t hold a celebration without its firemen’s windsor chop supper and dance at the park on Saturday.
And Sunday, the third annual car show will return with proceeds benefiting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Proceeds from an antique tractor show will also go toward suicide prevention. Both events are held across from the Rose Pedaler on Highway 56.
Other events throughout the weekend include basketball, softball and beanbag tournaments, a firemen’s water fight, hole-in-one golf and a hunt for cash. Concessions will be available throughout the weekend.
