COORS LIGHT SILVER SUMMER THROWDOWN HEATING UP

One provocative lakefront setting. Two days of unparalleled wakeboarding.netpetition and extreme sports demonstration. Three years as the province’s most exciting summer sports festival and one of the country’s premier wakeboarding events.

It all adds up to the fourth annual Coors Light Silver Summer Throwdown in Portage la Prairie, Mb. — and there are only 62 days until it all goes down.

Throwdown makes waves at Portage’s Island Park from Aug. wake-20 and the countdown is already on to what promises to be one of the fiercest weekends to hit Manitoba this summer.

“We’re already getting anxious about this year’s event,” says Throwdown coordinator Dan Martin. “This all started as a small wakeboarding.netpetition 3 years ago and it has just taken off from there.”

In addition to the high-level Pro-Am Wakeboard competition, this year’s edition of Throwdown also boasts a one-day arm wrestling challenge, racing and demonstrations by Super X Mini racers and SK8 Skates skateboarding team and the perennially popular bronze bodies in the Silver Bullet Bikini.

Hot DJs will be spinning all weekend long, providing a soundtrack to the competitions, demonstrations and the two-day Silver Bullet Beer Gardens — then the party reaches it heights on Saturday night, when it moves in to Canad Inns Portage la Prairie for the famed Silver Slam After-Party.

Organizers are constantly planning for ways to make the weekend that much hotter and more details will be announced in weeks to come.
