Enjoy Forsyth Spring Fling April 26

It’s spring in the Ozarks, and a great place to celebrate is the annual Spring Fling in downtown Forsyth. On Saturday, April 26, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., enjoy browsing vendor booths, grab a snack at a variety of open-air dining opportunities, and listen to live music. 

The car show is another crowd favorite, and there’s a fun zone for the kids as well as the “Youth-preneur Marketplace” for young people to showcase their own businesses. For just $10 per tent, young area entrepreneurs can show and sell their crafts, original inventions and other products while learning valuable business skills.

There are also some fun competition opportunities: A cake decorating contest, an art battle and more. Entry fee for the Aloha-themed cake contest is $5, with a pre-baked cake and icing provided; contestants may bring their own tools and additional decorations to make their special creation during the 30-minute time limit.

Also returning to Spring Fling is the Strongman Competition, bigger and better this year! Novices and amateurs are welcome to try to their skills at the Atlas stones, tire flip, farmer’s walk, sandbags, and overhead press. Contact Jeff McCotter at ozarksstrongman@gmail.com for more information and to register. 

There are also still some vendor booth spaces available starting at just $40; nonprofits are half-price. Some sponsorship opportunities are still available as well; contact forsythareachamber@gmail.com or call 417-546-2741 for details about this fun way to promote your business. Contest and show registration information is also available via the Chamber website. 

Get involved and let’s celebrate spring!
