Water Balloon Combat

Aviator Water Balloon Combat is a fun and safe way to relive your childhood in a more grown-up atmosphere! Participants are divided in two teams and try to douse each other with as many water balloons as possible. There will be a number of inflatable obstacles to hide behind or to take cover while you plan your attack on the other team.

The fun begins with registration at 11am followed by DJ, games, and a Corn Hole tournament - all in a beer garden atmosphere. At 4pm the combatters (Yes we are making up words now!) will make their way to the battle grounds and prepare to soak their enemies.

When the signal is given, participants launch their water balloons at the opposite team until another signal is given to stop. Special water balloons filled with food dye spice the game up and add a little more strategy - the team that lands the most color balloon bullseyes on the back or chest of their opponents will be declared the winner. All members of the winning team (21 or older) will receive the ultimate reward - free beer.

So what are you waiting for?!
