This past weekend marked the first time the 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐧 was held in Abbeville, and it brought a great mix of competition, community, and fun to Lafitte Park.
It was a beautiful day with strong participation, including competitors who traveled in from as far as Mississippi. Attendees also had the opportunity to check out and try the Mountain Blox course with @Big Boy Toys and Hobbies on site.
Events like this highlight how hobbies can bring people together and create a sense of community beyond the competition.
We appreciate everyone who helped make this event possible and look forward to seeing it return in the future.
