ANNOUNCING

The 43rd Annual

FloatFest

June 26, 27 & 28, 2020

OZARK NATIONAL SCENIC RIVERWAYS

After careful consideration, the 43rd Annual FloatFest will be held as scheduled.

By design, FloatFest has always been conducted 100% in the great outdoors amid the fresh air and the open spaces

of a group campground where safe "social-distancing" and all WHO and CDC guidelines are easily managed.

With respect to protecting each other during the COVID crisis, we ask FloatFesters to comply with all guidelines.

Provided you are committed to following guidelines, you are cordially invited to join us this year

for a galloping good time on the banks of the beautiful Current River.

Childhood living is easy to do in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways,

and not even a global pandemic could drag us away

from this most extraordinary place on earth.

This year we honor the herds of "Wild Horses"

who roam around the rivers and graze the hollows of the ONSR.

Get ready folks ... the bugler is about to "Start Me Up" and play the Call To The Post

as all FloatFesters straddle their mounts and place their bets during

WILD HORSES - A Day at the Races.

Being an educational event, FloatFest will harness your knowledge of the history, culture, landmarks and ecosystem of our treasured ONSR ...

all the while having you jockey for a chance to enter the Winner's Circle

and earn a FREE TRIP to next year's annual FloatFest.

So if you're chewing at the bit to get away from this crazy world of worries

and you've already had your "19th Nervous Breakdown,"

register today for the 43rd Annual FloatFest.

Here's how the program will work:

WILD HORSES - A Day at the Races - will be comprised of three races

conducted on famous tracks (gravel bars) along the free-flowing Current River.

Each race will feature a field of six WILD HORSES competing for FloatFest's Triple Crown.

Charlie The Unicorn

Prior to leaving the Pulltite Paddock (Group Site #3), six individual FloatFesters

will be matched with one of our six steeds.

Then, as FloatFest winds its way down the glorious Current River,

the first of three races will take place.

Prior to the start of each race, all FloatFesters (including the horses themselves) will have a chance to wager bets on which horse they believe will win that race.

Every FloatFester will start the day with 10 tokens.

After each race, anyone who bet on the winning horse

will DOUBLE the amount of tokens they bet on that horse.

This process of betting will take place for all three races.

Also, "Before They Make Me Run" (prior to every race), each of the six WILD HORSES

will have an opportunity to answer a unique trivia question about our beloved ONSR.

A correct answer enables that horse to move up one full-length from the starting gate, thus providing an advantage for that horse prior to the beginning of the race.

After each horse answers their unique trivia question,

they will be placed into position, await the bell and then ... they're OFF.

The race track announcer will role three dice ... when a horse's number appears on a die after each role, that horse gets to advance one-length down the track.

Horses will continue to advance down the track as the race announcer proceeds

to roll the "Tumbling Dice" and calls out each horse's number.
