Oroville hosted Lake Osoyoos Cup Jet Ski Races & Oroville Family Festival
Published 8:30 am Wednesday, August 7, 2024
OROVILLE – The Lake Osoyoos Cup Jet Ski Races took place last weekend with racing on Saturday and Sunday, as well as several other family-oriented activities.
The races attracted more racers to the event than any other this year, according to the PNW WaterX, which sponsors the event.
The race, which takes place on Osoyoos Lake off the shores of Oroville’s Deep Bay Park, was particularly exciting as airplanes were scooping water from the lake in the background of the course to fight the Sunset Fire northeast of Oroville.
The race was well attended as it was the last chance to pick up points to qualify to race the IJSBA International Jet Ski World Finals at Lake Havasu.
In addition to the jet ski races, the event included Apple Bin Races, a horseshoe tournament and a cornhole tournament. There was also live music and food vendors.
