Naches Sportsman’s Days is This Weekend — Get Ready to Play!
Naches Sportsman's Days is one of the longest running community events in the Yakima Valley and will be happening this weekend (Sept. 7-8). The two-day event will be held in downtown Naches at the Historic Depot Park and features free entertainment throughout the weekend with midway rides, food & game booths, silent auction, button drawings for cash prizes, local vendors from all around the valley and live shows on the Lions Club main stage.
The event kicks off Friday at 5 p.m. with the opening of the midway and musical entertainment on the stage. Fun for the whole family including rides, archery, flower show, live music starting at 6:30 with KROME, and food!
Saturday's events will begin with the Naches Parade at 10 a.m., followed by the Naches band & choir taking the stage, opening up the midway with entertainment all day. Look for Big League Wrestling Exhibition to be hitting the mats at 1, face painting, fishing derby, and loads of activities leading up to the annual lip-sync competition for $200 in cash prizes. Wrapping up the weekend's events this year is Yakima's own Manic Thunder Improv Troupe, complete with Naches natives Tim Hubert & Rob Messer, pictured below.
