The Chris Colligan Challenge Cup 4v4 Soccer Tournament is in its sixth year and is always a great family event. In addition to the tournament itself, there is a concession stand, bounce house for the younger kids, and a dunk tank that
always has someone in it that deserves to get dunked. This year there might even be one of the high school coaches there for a little while so don't miss it. There is also free parking and plenty of open space for tents and tailgating though out the
day. If you need to get away for a short time Rayner Park is just around the corner and has a large playground
for the younger kids as well. For all the details and a registration form see the club web page at
