Who’s ready to race? The 2026 B&B Outdoor Power Father’s Day Mow-Off is Saturday, June 20th, check-in starts at 10am, with racing at 11. Don;t miss the fun at B&B Outdoor Power – Highway 70, Newport.
Now is the time to practice – get on your riding mower, grab your leaf blower and work on your skills. You know how this works, right??? Two participants will be on riding mowers provided by B&B Outdoor Power, and they’ll have to race against each other to one end of the designated race area, park the mower, use a leaf blower to direct three balls into a hole, then race back on the mowers. The winner of each race moves up through the bracket until we find our winner.
The person who wins all their matches will take home a Cub Cadet XT1-LT42 lawn tractor 42″ cut mower! Second place is a Stihl FSA57 battery powered trimmer that comes with a battery nd charger. First person out this year scores a $50 Neuse Sport Shop gift card. And this year, every participant will get a WSFL bright orange ball cap, suitable for hunting, because EVERYONE will see you when you’re wearing it. We’ll have food and drinks too, so bring the whole family. You must be 18 or older to participate. Make sure you wear closed toe shoes (no sandals or Crocs), and come prepared to win!!!
