Registration Open for the 2008 Cornhusker State Games!
Organizers met with sponsors, key volunteers and members of the news media in Lincoln Monday, April 21st, to announce the opening of registrations for the July 18-27 sports festival for Nebraskans of all ages and abilities. More than 12,000 are expected to participate at 70 venues in and around Lincoln.
Athletes now have 60 sports from which to choose, along with a statewide torch run and Olympic-style Opening Ceremonies to set the mood. Their reasons to participate are as numerous as the sports themselves, according to Executive Director Dave Mlnarik.
“There truly is something for everyone in the Cornhusker State Games, not just in terms of the number of sports, but in the ways to enjoy it,” Mlnarik said, explaining the Road-To-Gold marketing theme for 2008.
