Fall into Fun Event Saturday October 8, 2022
FALL into FUN for a GREAT CAUSE! Please join us on Saturday October 8, 2022 at the Camdenton City Park for Art in the Park, Crush
Pancreatic Cancer Fun Run/Walk, Chili Cook-Off & Silent Auction! There will
be music, crafts, booths and so much more- all located at the Camdenton City
Park!
The 28th Annual ART IN THE PARK is back! Art in
the Park was created by the Child Advocacy Council in 1994 and is designed with
the understanding that the arts promote self-esteem and confidence in
children. This is a FREE event and
includes tents for a variety of fun creative crafts. Hot dogs & popcorn will be provided free.
Donations are encouraged.
We will also be hosting our annual CRUSH PANCREATIC
CANCER SK FUN RUN/WALK, CHILI COOK-OFF & SILENT AUCTION. On February
10, 2010, Camdenton Police Officer Floyd Sanders lost his battle with
Pancreatic Cancer. Since his passing, we have met numerous families within our
community that have also lost a loved one to this often silent but deadly
disease! Each year, we join forces with those families to raise money and
awareness about Pancreatic Cancer. All money raised at this event will go
directly to the Lustgarden Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, where
100% of donations go towards finding a cure!
But to make our event a success, WE NEED YOUR HELP! We
need runners, walkers & joggers to attend the Fun Run/Walk! We also need
teams for our Chili Cook-Off! You are encouraged to invite your friends, family
& co-workers to join you for this family friendly event. Details of the

The City of Camdenton has partnered with the Camden County Library District to offer Free WiFi in City Park. The Library District secured a grant from Premier Wireless, a leader in education technology solutions, to provide internet access around schools and in parks, with the goal of students taking learning technology with them outside the classroom. This is ever more important as we practice social distancing and virtual learning due to the pandemic. WiFi access is available all along the circle drive in City Park, called Pam May Drive, and at the Tennis Courts, Basketball Courts, Skate Park and Aquatic Center Parking Lot. Do a WiFi search on your device, choose "City Park WiFi" then enter password "playground" and you're connected to the internet.
