The first-ever Sportsmen's Challenge will take place at the Rolling Prairie Olde Farmer's Fest Aug. 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. when sportsmen will compete in archery, crossbow, casting, and axemanship.
Competitors will be individually ranked in each event, and the grand prize winners in the adult and youth divisions will be determined by the lowest combined rank for each sportsmanís best two events. Sportsmen can enter up to four events and are able to re-enter individual events as many times as they would like to better their chances of winning.
The grand prize for the adult division will be a guided fishing trip with area guide and outdoor writer Jay Anglin of Anglin Outdoors. The grand prize in the youth division will be a salmon and trout fishing trip on Lake Michigan aboard the "I Did It," or he or she may opt for a $100 gift certificate from New Prairie Archery instead. Each of the eight individual event winners will receive a $25 Cabela's gift certificate.
Bring your own bows, arrows, rods, and reels to better your chances of winning; all axe competitors will use the axe provided. Youth entries (fourteen and under) are free; competing in more than the four events will cost one dollar per extra event. Adult entries cost three dollars.
