🔨 HAMMERSCHLAGEN CONTEST AT PARKTOBER FEST! 🍂

Think you’ve got what it takes to be the last person standing? Come test your skills at our Hammerschlagen Contest on Sunday, October 4th at Waucoma City Park!

💰 Entry: $5 per person
🏆 Winner takes HALF of the pot!

How does it work?

Players take turns trying to drive their nail into a large wooden log using the hammer. Sounds easy, right? 😉 But there’s a catch! Once you start, you’ll need to be quick, accurate, and strategic. Miss your mark or make a mistake, and you could be out!

Players continue until there is only one person left standing—the winner! 🔨🏆

Bring your friends, show off your hammer skills, and compete for a share of the pot!

📅 Sunday, October 4th
📍 Waucoma City Park
💵 $5 Entry

Come out for a day of Parktober Fest fun, support our new playground project, and see who can claim the Hammerschlagen crown! 🔨
