The Clive Festival Turns the Big 4-0

Our wonderful town's highly anticipated annual Clive Festival is happening this weekend, and this year marks a milestone 40th year for this remarkable festival. Wobbly Boots Roadhouse BBQ restaurant in Clive Iowa is proud to be one of the sponsors for this historic event. 




This is a weekend full of fun for all ages.  This family-oriented event's nature theme celebrates the Greenbelt Trail, which stretches along the northern bank of Walnut Creek through the Des Moines suburbs of both Clive and Windsor Heights.

THE DETAILS:


WHEN:  Thursday, July 16, 4:30 pm - 10:30 pm

HIGHLIGHTS:


Kids Corner
Saturday, from 1 pm - 5 pm, kids can enjoy superhero themed activities, crafts, and more at the Kids Corner.  While supplies last, children can make superhero masks, cuffs, and capes.  The Iowa Leauge of Superheroes - "The Dark Knight," "SuperGirl," and "Spidey"-  will be making appearances, along with Clive's very own superheroes - the City of Clive's Police Officers and Fire Fighters.

The Kids Corner will also feature story-telling, tug-of-war, inflatables, demonstrations, and two giant slip-and-slides to ride down and cool off. 




Mayor's Bike Ride
The traditional Mayor's Bike Ride offers a 29-mile ride and a more family-friendly 8-mile ride on Saturday morning at 8 am.  The 8-mile ride goes through the Greenbelt Trail, and the 29-mile ride will include the Greenbelt Trail, Walnut Creek Trail, and Bill Riley Trails.  

Sign up information is on the website, and proceeds from both of these rides will be used to plant trees within Clive.
