4th Annual
“BayFest in the Park”
PetFest, KidsFest and music, music, music!
Saturday, September 15th, Woodland Mead Park
The 2018 outdoor festivals in Fairfield Bay continue with the fourth annual BayFest in the Park, a pet-friendly, family friendly all day festival with something for everyone to enjoy!
“Our BayFest just keeps growing from year to year,” says Dan Feuer, festival chairman. “It’s awesome to see people who are here every year remark at how much better this festival gets. In addition, word is spreading that this festival is the best around, and we get to see new faces from all over Arkansas come see what we’re all about.”
10am – A full day of fun starts off at 10:00 with food, mini golf, craft vendors, baggo and more! Wander through shady Woodland Mead park, and see what all the vendors offer – from clothes to handmade crafts, they’ll definitely have something you’ve gotta have! And the food choices are aplenty – fresh fruit lemonades, kettle corn, Asian cuisine, and Chow Hall BBQ will be offering delicious treats sure to satisfy any appetite. The Baggo Tournament starts at 12:30PM, and grab your awesome foursome for a mini golf tournament, starting at 2:30 PM!
Bring the Pets!
BayFest is not just fun for people, it’s a blast for the dogs, too! Dress up Fido and Fluffy is their snazziest outfits, and join our pet parade, starting at 11:30 AM. Cheer on your favorite and watch the tails start to wag! Too much fun!
Music, Music, Music!
BayFest is not just great food and one of a kind crafts. Our all day festival will feature 5 outstanding live acts, sure to get toes tapping and dance fever started! Music starts at 11:00AM with Damascus Road playing in the Lions Theater Amphitheater, followed by Imagine That Band at noon, Bree Ogden at 1:00PM, and the Luke Williams Band at 2:00PM. Big Shane Thornton will round out the day’s music, beginning at 3:30 PM.. So much music all day – no reason not to grab a dance partner and cut a rug!
And a Dunk Tank!
Want to show off your dunk tank skills? Have we got a deal for you! For just $5 you’ll get three tries to dunk your favorite local leaders. So step up to the line and let ’em fly! All in great fun, it’s going to be going on all day, and all proceeds will go to a local charity.
A Big THANK YOU!
Our festival could not be what it is without our AWESOME sponsors. We’d like to thank F.L. Davis ACE Home and Building Centers, Mountain Ranch / Tannenbaum Golf, Community Water, Bath Fitter, and Craven Foods, as well as the Cowboy Auto Group, for their support of our festival.
A dump truck on the greens? Is that even LEGAL? Well, it is when you play in the 21st Annual Superintendent’s Revenge Golf Tournament, held on Saturday, September 15th at the Indian Hills Golf Course! Already known for its challenges, this golf course will have even more obstacles for you to golf around. Enjoy the round as you compete with other teams to see who has “the right stuff’!
“The Superintendent’s Challenge is like no other tournament we hold,” says Rebecca Jenkins, Indian Hills Golf Course Manager. “We have golfers come from all over the country – some even planning vacations around it – to participate and see what new and exciting curves we’ll throw at them. All of it is in good fun, and proceeds earned will go toward making course improvements.”
This tournament has been held annually for the past 21 years, and is expanding this year to accommodate even more teams. The rumor is that some players even try to sneak a peek the evening before to see what they may encounter along the way – but the tricky ground crews have threatened to work under cover of darkness to ensure that everyone will be surprised.
The shotgun start will be at 9:00 AM, and the cost is $50 per person (cost includes green fees, cart, lunch and prizes. Cash or check only). Gather your best team of 4 to tee off on this super fun and exciting course!
Second Annual FFB Poker Rally
Our first Poker Run was an amazing success and since that time, we’ve updated and improved our course, added a few more trails and a 20-acre “fun park”. Hundreds have come out to enjoy our 90 miles of trails. So as fall approaches, we’re even more excited to kick off our second annual ATV/UTV Poker Rally on Saturday, September 29th. Everyone will meet at Woodland Mead Park, and explore 14,000 acres with 8 stops. Sponsored by c2PowerSports in Conway, the fun Rally cost is just $20 to enter and benefits the Fairfield Bay Volunteer Fire Department!
