Spring Day in the park
April 22, 2023. Saturday, 10am - 4pm.
This is our Spring Kick Off Driving Gathering!
Members and non-members welcome. Our Day in the Park events are open to anyone interested in learning more about driving, our club or who has animals they drive or are training to drive. We will have experienced drivers and instructors available to help answer your questions or work with you.
Special Activity: DRIVING DERBY PLAYDAY & DRIVING SALE.
A Driving Derby is a great way to try cones and driving obstacles all in an arena. Typically a few gates of cones followed by an obstacle (an area with A to D labeled routes through), more cones and a second obstacle. Meet to discuss and walk course at 11am. In a special twist, those that want to, can turn in a timed round trying to match OPTIMUM TIME so less pressure and speed needed for participants. This is a GREAT introduction to the Driving Derby format. No experience needed! Instructors in attendance if desired.
Driving Sale: Bring your clean driving related items to sell at this Spring Kickoff Event. Contact Claire Lacey with questions about our Special Activities at Day in the Park
Bring a pot luck dish to share or your own lunch if preferred. Please bring picnicware, drinks and a chair. We will have a fun lunchtime activity too!
