Howardwick residents and guests are in for a good time when the community hosts its fifth annual Hoedown Saturday, July 22, at McMorries Memorial Park.
Fun, music, games, and prizes will help celebrate the community and raise more money for street repairs, according to City Secretary and Hoedown organizer Sandy Childress.
Plenty of food will be available throughout the day, starting at 11 a.m., and dancing and music will continue throughout the day. Lunch will be available for $10 per person – pulled pork sandwiches, chips, drink, and dessert.
A John Deere Z330M 54” 23HP lawnmower is the big raffle prize for the day and you don’t have to be present to win, but a live on-site raffle with more than $1,000 in prizes will also be going on all day for those present with winners every hour.
The second annual Corn Hole Tournament hosted by the Clarendon Lions Club is accepting sign-ups and is offering cash prizes as well as the chance to win a custom corn hole set. The first place team wins $400, second place is $300, and third place is $100. All teams have a chance at the corn hole set. Entry is $50 per person for a two-person corn hole team. Call City Hall at 806-874-2222 for more information.
Other competitions include the second annual putting contest with more than $1,000 in prizes. Proceeds from the putting green contest benefit TX Helping Hand, which helps people with utility bills.
A slip-n-slide will be available for kids, and 14 vendor booths are currently signed up to be at the event.
Those attending the Hoedown should plan to bring their own seating and their own umbrellas or other shading if they desire. The weather forecast is calling for cooler temperatures and possible clouds for Saturday.
The official Hoedown activities wind down at 4 p.m., but an unaffiliated Karaoke After Party will be held in the park following the celebration.
For more information, call City Hall at 806-874-2222.
