Mountain Games full of outdoor fun! Morning showers did not dampen the enthusiasm at the JC Parks Mountain Games on Aug. 18, a unique outdoor adventure at which participants enjoyed kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing, disc golf, music and lunch at Legion Street Pool. A looped mountain bike course with small obstacles was constructed, and bikes were available for riders. Outdoor accessories were displayed and expert information was provided. A DJ provided tunes during the three-hour event, and most in attendance stayed for a swim following the action. A special thank you to Mahoney's Outfitters, SORBA Tri-Cities, Local Motion, The Bike Shop, the SHHS Mountain Bike Team and Rockon Climbing. Other contributors and donors include Dollywood, Double Tree Hotel, Chick-fil-A, Sam’s Club, Walmart, Hampton Trails Bicycle Shop, WonderWorks, Mellow Mushroom, Barberitos and Anakeesta Theme Park.
