Grab your swimsuit and sunscreen because SlideFXBG returns this Saturday, Aug. 31 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m! The three-lane, 1,000-foot slip-and-slide moves from Hanover to William St. this year, and will start from just below the intersection on College Ave. and runs to the intersection of Sunken Road.
SlideFXBG is open to young and old, but sliders must be at least 40 inches tall and must use an inflatable tube. Tickets, which cost $27, are available at slidefxbg.com in two-hour blocks that begin at 11 a.m. No one will be able to enter the line for the slide after 6:45 p.m.
Volunteers from University of Mary Washington athletic teams will be on hand to assist with set up, quality control, breakdown and cleanup. Fredericksburg’s Economic Development Authority will make a donation to UMW Athletics for their work.
