Here are the details of the "park party" that is replacing the 5k this year:

We’re doing something a little different!
Instead of a Fun/Run/Walk 5k we will be hosting a Park Party to raise funds to be donated to Huntsman Cancer Foundation.
The party will take place in one of Daybreak’s newest parks in Eastlake Village, Rowdy Park (located off Vermillion).
The park party will offer FREE live entertainment,
BBQ dinner ($5.00 donation),
Clowns,
face painting (6 tickets per resident),
bounce houses (6 tickets per resident),
dunk tank (6 tickets per 3 balls)
and a pie throwing (6 tickets per pie)
Tickets for activities available at the park – 6 tickets for $5.00 or 1 ticket for $1.00
Hope to see you there!

Read that again. 6 tickets will cost you $5! Good cause or not, I did the math on this one. Let's say I have a small family, only two kids. I want to go to the park party, eat dinner, and have some fun. Dinner for 4 - $20, 3 out of four activities (for the two kids only)- $30! $5 for one ride is ridiculous. Going home from a crappy event $50 - $70 poorer, priceless! You've got to be kidding me. I can see it now, "Mommy, can I throw a pie at somebody, PLEASE?" Oh, why not, what's another $10 or $15 for 20 seconds of thrill? Surely we can do better than this.
