“It’s something that we have dreamed about for quite some time,” Young said. “Wanting to bring a family fun event to Cookeville. You don;t have to be a ninja to compete. It is just a fun way to get out and get active.”
Young said you can purchase tickets to compete in-person at the event. It starts at 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. at the Hyder-Burks Pavilion. Young said the proceeds will go towards the organizations adoption services.
