The competition will be at Flat Fork Creek Park, 16141 E. 101st St., Fortville. Teams of 2 to 5 children or adults are accepted, and a statement will be issued 24 hours in advance of the event on the Fishers Parks and Recreation Facebook and Twitter accounts notifying teams of the Sleddy date. All riders must have previously signed a liability waiver. Teams can begin constructing their sleds now. For more, visit fishers.in.us/thesleddy.
