Mud Volleyball Tournament June 20

MUD VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT PLANNED FOR JUNE 20

Dixon Main Street is unveiling a new event for Dixon and the Sauk Valley area this summer. On June 20, Dixon will play host to an all-day Mud Volleyball Tournament. The action will take place at the Meadows field, at the horse trail parking lot off of Brinton Ave.

The event is a cooperative effort between Dixon Main Street and the Dixon Park District and will feature tournament play with each team being guaranteed at least two matches. Cost to have a co-ed team of six players is $120, with day of registration $150. Forms can be downloaded at www.dixonil.com/mainstreet.

“Dixon Main Street is always looking for fun and exciting ways to bring people to our community,” Executive Director Josh Albrecht said. “Our Promotions Committee thought that a mud volleyball tournament was a great way to spend a summer day and to raise some money to support Main Street events like the Scarecrow Festival and Christmas Walk.”

This year’s event features music by 3D Sound, a pork chop cook out by the Dixon Park District and a beer garden. An age limit of 21 years-old will be enforced for play in the tournament, although those younger can come and watch the event. The tournament will begin at 10 a.m. and conclude when a champion is crowned.
