It will be here before you know it, the HAPO Columbia Cup kicks off Friday July 28th-30th and you can snag tickets online, while your grabbing lunch or when you are grocery shopping.

The Event Director Kathy Powell says they have a partnership with the local Safeway and Albertson stores, which sell some of the ticket packages, including three-day passes. Those adult tickets are also available at the Tri-City Water Follies office off 621 N Gum St, Kennewick, WA 99336, or you can go online.

She adds parents can get the kiddos from 6 to 12 years old, free tickets at any local Tri-Cities Jack in the Box location. Powell says kids under 5 are already free.

Admission tickets range in price from $15 for a single day to $45 for a three day with a pit pass included. If you plan to drive in, parking is a separate fee. Don't forget that Friday is a free admission day thanks to area sponsors.

Many of the private spaces for larger companies and groups are already taken, as are the RV spots, but Powell says you can contact the office for more information on what is still available.
