Women's Challenge

All women who are registered in the Tournament are eligible for the Women's Challenge. Separate money is collected for the Women's Challenge, as not to interfere with the prize money for the overall winners. This is just a challenge for the women. The registrant women are also available to win all day prizes and overall prizes for the Tournament. We encourage any and all of our registrants to promote "new challenges" to the committee with sponsors. Please contact committee members with any suggestions you may have.

10th Annual Doo Dah Parade
(for children and adults of all ages)

Parade will begin April 30 at 1:30pm. Bring everyone, including your family pet! We've organized to recognize the Superb American Shad. This unique parade includes silly clowns, one-of-a-kind floats, boats, walking crayons, and other zany costumes. Everyone is welcomed even if you don't know how to fish or couldn't recognize a shad if you marched next to it. This year there will be awards given to the "most creative", "most tastefully noisy", "most unique formation", and other one-of-a-kind categories.

Parade begins at the corner of Spring Street and Larry Holmes Drive proceeding westward and ultimately ending at Scott Park. Deadline for this "zany fun" is 60 minutes before the parade starts! Downtown Easton is in for a treat! More info, contact shadarts2005@hotmail.com. Come On Down and Bring The Family!
