Fort Fest 2016

Every year we have a camp out at Raccoon Creek State Park. This next weekend is it. If you’re going to be there, Seanakee has a message for all of you;

Fort Fest Forecast: 80 Degrees and Higher!

Do you get all Hot and Bothered at Fort Fest, especially during the Mating Flight Game? No worries! This year, our mating flight challenge is WET ‘N’ WILD so bring an extra towel, your swimsuit or just an extra change of clothes if you want to participate. (If water games aren’t for you, we will also have a “dry” version, so everyone can still have fun – WACKY ‘N’ WILD.)

For Our Avid Gamers:

During the day there will be a handmade game of CLUE: FORT WEYR VERSION available for people to play when they want. For 3 to 6 player, just grab your friends, wingmates or anyone else and have fun. (The game will be put away prior to the Hatching Feast, so as not to interfere with the evening activities.)

Let’s All Have A FUN, FUN, FUN Fort Fest!
