Havasu kicks off springs with multiple events

Bass tourney, off-road racing, PWC racing

LAKE HAVASU CITY – In March, Lake Havasu City spring breakers seldom stray beyond the heart of spring break at the Bridgewater Channel, leaving the rest of the city wide open for exciting special events under sunny skies.

“Spring’s ideal weather and fun-loaded special events calendar are big draws for families and visitors beyond college age. Car shows, off-road and personal watercraft (PWC) competitions, bass tournaments, and even scooter competitions are just a few of the special events held this March,” says Terence Concannon, president and CEO of Go Lake Havasu.

New in Havasu

Yoga at Cattail Cove – Cattail Cove State Park, about a half-hour drive south of Lake Havasu City on Highway 95, just north of Parker Dam, hosts two yoga sessions every Wednesday this spring. Led by local Gloria Endicott, a passionate outdoors woman with a love for animals, nature and yoga, the 1-1/4 hour white sand beach sessions start at 9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. Gloria will introduce fundamental yoga poses and sequencing designed to align and calm your mind, body and spirit regardless of age or gender. A $3 entrance fee to the park is the only cost. Participants will need to bring their own yoga mat and props. For more information, view  azstateparks.com/cattail-cove/events/yoga-at-cattail-cove  or call 928-855-1223.
