When the lights come on.
Carnival rides whirl over the water. Food trucks fire up. The big stage lights flicker on and somebody from down the road plays the first chord of the night. Saturday ends with fireworks over Truman Lake.
Slow shells. Fast wheels.
Two legendarykid races.
Warsaw shuts down Main Street and the Town Square so our smallest competitors can steal the show. Pick a lane — or do both.
Slow & steady wins.
Turtle RaceChampionship.
Bring a turtle. Borrow a turtle. Cheer for a turtle. Either way, your kid leaves with a ribbon and a story.
Streamers, sneakers & speed.
Kids Bike Racedown Main Street.
Main Street shuts down. Tassels fly. Parents lose their voices. The fastest little legs in Benton County take the trophy.
Free to enter · Ribbons & trophies for every heat · Snow cones for all
