Throw Down cancelled for 2020

The second annual Liberty Lake Throw Down, a cornhole tournament that raises support for two of the community’s premier nonprofits, is the latest in a series of COVID event casualties. The event was set to return Aug. 29 to Orchard Park.

Note: The text below was written before the event’s cancellation but sheds light on the nature of and spirit of the Liberty Lake Throw Down. Well received in its inaugural year, organizers hope to see the event return. …

The Throw Down is put on by Friends of Pavillion Park and the HUB Sports Center to raise funds for those two organizations.

For Joe Frank, president and CEO of Greenstone Homes and president of the FOPP board, the tournament is a true celebration of how a community comes together. Since its founding in 1992, FOPP has helped build many Liberty Lake amenities and now focuses on “strengthening the sense of community in Liberty Lake by providing safe and affordable opportunities for recreation, education, entertainment and the arts.”

“When we build communities, our goal is to build a socially connected community, not just a collection of houses,” Frank said of Greenstone. “This social connection is the part of community that is ongoing, even after development is done. FOPP has taken on this role for Liberty Lake, and it is a big reason why Liberty Lake continues to be one of the most desired locations in the region.”

After featuring around 100 teams of two in its inaugural year, the 2020 Throw Down hopes to double to 200 teams this year, Frank said. Team registration is open and sponsorship information is available at pavillionpark.org. Divisions have been added this year to “better help us differentiate between competitive players and social players,” Frank said.

“The 2019 event came off better than I could have ever hoped for,” he said. “Starting a new event, you never know how it will be embraced, but we got a lot of great feedback after last year’s event and we hope to see attendance and support grow in 2020.”

Frank said his personal favorite memory from 2019 was the final from the Mini Bagger Division.

“The championship game was back and forth the whole game, and you had a lot of the adult teams make their way over to this court and cheer on the younger players,” he said. “It was awesome to see.”

Club Car Onward Four Passenger

What is it?
The Onward was built by one of the biggest and longest-tenured names in the golf car industry — but with the neighborhood in mind. Club Car has been around since 1958, and when it debuted the Onward in 2017, it had one particular mission in mind: Build with the same legacy of craftsmanship and automotive quality that Club Car is known for, but allow for unprecedented levels of customization, so owners truly can showcase their personal style, whether on the course or visiting the local park or shop.

Why is it popular?
Bill Renz, owner of Golf Cars Etc. in Spokane Valley, has been in the business for more than 30 years, and so he takes notice when a vehicle like the Onward really advances the industry. He said what sets the Onward apart is its plethora of smart options.

“Personal transportation vehicles shouldn’t be one size fits all, or else they cease to be personal,” he said. “The intended uses for these vehicles vary by the owner, and the Onward is the best vehicle I’ve seen for helping people personalize it to their own active lifestyle. Impressively, the Onward is sold at a price comparable or better than less-customizable alternatives on today’s market.”

Whether its choosing the color, wheels or various other accessories and accents, the ways to put a personal stamp on the vehicle are numerous. You can even choose between electric or gas options, the latter of which greatly increases the vehicle’s range.

Wow factor
While all these options are wow-worthy on their own, it’s important to remember what all of this personalization is being built upon: Club Car’s 60 years of innovation and industry leadership. The Onward is built on a highly durable, aircraft-quality aluminum frame. This isn’t Club Car’s first rodeo.
