Fergus Falls Over the River Festival

Hope you've been practicing your pitch!

Who’s ready to make a splash? 💦

Our Over the River: Santa’s Summer Splash dunk tank happening tomorrow is shaping up to be one of the most fun events of the day! From city leaders and first responders to local coaches and community partners, these great sports have volunteered to take a seat above the water—all for a great cause.

Take your best shot, cheer on your favorites, and help support the organizations that make Fergus Falls such a special place to call home.

Check out the schedule below to see when your favorite community member will be in the tank tomorrow. I hope to see you there… and yes, I’ll be taking my turn at 11:20 a.m. 🎯💦
