about 

JAKES ( juniors acquiring knowledge ethics and sportsmanship ) has been committed to teaching area youth a wide variety of outdoor activities that they would not normally be exposed to. All FREE of charge and we feed all a free lunch during the one day event.

The event was founded in 2002 and has held events every year since- rain or shine.
