Harvey County adopts 2026 Parks calendar with family events across county parks
Summary
The commission approved a Harvey County Parks events calendar that includes recurring nature chats, a Sasquatch Hunt starting June 1, July 4 campsite-decorating, Water Wars on July 18, an August bike rally, and a September 'No Tech' family campout.
Harvey County’s commission approved a proposed 2026 Parks Calendar of Events at its April 14 meeting. Parks Director Kass Miller presented a calendar of family-focused outdoor activities intended to increase park visitation and community engagement.
Planned events in the packet include a Nature Chat & Movie Night (May 30; recurring dates through August), a Sasquatch Hunt kickoff on June 1 (a social-media-driven clue event), a Pet Swim Park promotion (date TBD), an Independence Day campsite-decorating contest on July 4, Water Wars on July 18 at West Park, a family bike rally “Rumble at the Lake” on Aug. 29, and a “No Tech” family campout with Goldfish Drag Races on Sept. 26. The packet also lists user fees for camping and boating permits and a KCAMP special-events questionnaire the county will use to verify insurance coverage for events.
Commissioner Becky Reimer moved to approve forwarding events to KCAMP for verification of insurance and risk review; the motion passed unanimously. The minutes show the county will forward event details to KCAMP for final approval on insurance and risk-management matters before events proceed.
