7/1/2017 to 7/2/2017 | Harry S Truman State Park | Warsaw, MO
On Fourth of July weekend, the park will host a kid’s boat race. Park staff builds rubber band-powered wooden boats out of recycled wood all winter long to be ready for this exciting event. Kids who participate will be given a boat to paint and decorate on Saturday night. The next morning, on Sunday, everyone will race the boats at the campground swimming beach. This is a great family activity that gets kids excited about being outside. It also gives them a chance to have fun and build a memory, which they will cherish for the rest of their lives. For more information, call the park office at 660-438-7711.
