Tomorrow, Saturday, August 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Clearlake’s Austin Park, Lake Community Pride Foundation presents the seventh annual Power to the Youth.
This year’s event will feature a basketball tournament for different age groups and a skate park competition for varying skill levels in scooters, BMX, scooters, and skateboarding with prizes for the winners. It is free to enter these activities and all participants must register and be prepared to play at 10 a.m. on the day of the event. Glory Day’s Flag Football League will have their annual Power to the Youth flag football event.
A stage in the front of the park will feature this year’s musical lineup: Fetti Rich, The Lyricist and As All Else Fails. Multiple bouncy houses, water slides, mechanical bull, free horse rides, as well as local agency booths offering activities and information about their services will be available throughout the park. Ranging from education to politics to healthcare and local businesses, many booths will be featured at this year’s event.
Lake Community Pride Foundation encourages the community to come out “to empower our youth for a brighter and better future for Clearlake and Lake County.”
Admission to the event is free so bring the whole family. Food from Cactus Grill, near the gazebo, will be selling.
Lake Community Pride Foundation is a non-profit group who maintains and supports a teen shelter, Safe House of Lake County, supports the youth performing arts and organizes youth events for the community.
