Enduring Enthusiasm

Last-minute salvaging of Kiddie Water Fights doesn't impact the fun

Corn Festival's Kiddie Water Fights may have almost been canceled, but the last-minute salvage didn't stop the success of the event.

Saturday morning's annual event attracted about 80 kids to participate. For the water fights, two teams of two compete to move a ball across a rope in the air with the spraying water pressure from hoses. The teams compete twice, switching sides, and if there is a tie they go a third time.

The remaining winning teams then compete against each other for the final prize.
