SportFest in Cary features Cub skybox chance

Submitted by Cary Grove Chamber

Free rock climbing for kids, free games and activities and free chances to win great prizes including skybox seat tickets to the Saturday, Sept. 3, Cubs vs. Pittsburgh Pirates game are some of the highlights of this year’s “SportsFest 2011,” a sports and fitness showcase sponsored by the Cary Grove Area Chamber of Commerce.

The event will be from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21, in the Feinberg Court Business District near Wool Street Grill & Sports Bar.

The event, which last year attracted more than 1,500 attendees, is a family-friendly outing for local residents and a great way to end the summer. Vendors include local youth sports clubs such as the Cary Grove Junior Trojan Youth Football, Cary Youth Baseball, Cary Soccer Association, Cary Matmen Wrestlers and others, as well as many sports and fitness related businesses and resources.

Throughout the day vendors will offer free games for kids, free raffles and giveaways. A vendor raffle conducted by the chamber will offer a grand prize of skybox seat tickets to the Cubs vs Pirates Sept. 3 game. An obstacle course challenge for kids will award a grand prize of a new bike from Walmart. The event also will feature outdoor entertainment and food, and demonstrations all day, from poms and cheerleading, to Jazzercise and karate.
