Free rock climbing for kids, games, activities and chances to win prizes, including five skybox seat tickets to the Cubs vs. Astros Sept. 7 game, are some of the highlights of this year's SportsFest 2010, 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. 22, in the Feinberg Court Business District, off Feinberg Court near Wool Street Grill & Sports Bar.

Throughout the day vendors will be offering free games for kids, raffles and giveaways. A vendor raffle conducted by the chamber will offer a grand prize of five skybox seat tickets to the Cubs vs. Astros Sept. 7 game, sponsored by Sage Products Inc.

An obstacle course challenge for kids sponsored by New Balance Athletic Shoes Crystal Lake will award a grand prize of a new bike from Walmart. The event will also feature outdoor entertainment and food and demonstrations all day from poms and cheerleading, to Jazzercise and karate.
