PRO WAKEBOARD TOUR RIDES INTO WEST CHESTER The Supra Boats Pro Wakeboard Tour, the longest-running professional wakeboard competition, will visit West Chester this summer as part of its 25th-anniversary season. Voice of America MetroPark will host the final stop of the tour on August 12. According to the Butler County Visitors Bureau, the event will bring an estimated economic impact of $150,000 to the region and feature the top 16 professional men wakeboarders in the world competing for the coveted world championship. In addition to high-flying wakeboard action, the tour will bring one of the hottest up-and-coming sports in North America to West Chester.

The event at VOA will be open to the public with tickets just $5 for each person ages six and up. GetToTheBC.com
