Let the fun begin when you start to launch the angry birds at the pigs. Warning… you have to provide your own sounds, but you probably know how to do that.

]]> A year-round favorite is Jumonville’s 18 hole disc golf course. Our 9 hole course was just expanded in the late spring of 2014 to a full 18 hole course with official disc golf baskets thanks to a grant form the Fayette County Tourism Grant. Count the number of strokes (or throws) that it takes you to get the disc in the “basket” at each hole and you may just be the next champion. Regulation “Frisbee” golf disks can be borrowed from the Jumonville office. Score cards are also available if you want evidence to prove that you won the round. Did you know that there is a Professional Disc Golf Association and they hold tournaments all over the country? Check it out.
