Due to safety concerns from the recent flooding, it is with deep regret that Colorado Bend State Park must announce that we will be unable to participate in 2025’s Spring Ho! Festival.

We would like to thank everyone for y’all’s understanding, and we are looking forward to seeing what an extra year’s worth of training will do to y’all’s competitiveness!
