(La Porte, IN) - Professional and amateur Jet-ski racers are heading to La Porte's Stone Lake. 

 

They’ll be racing on Stone Lake Saturday and Sunday as part of the city’s inaugural Lakefest. The La Porte County Convention and Visitors Bureau (LCCVB) signed the deal to bring the Aqua-X jet-ski races to LaPorte.

 

LCCVB Executive Director Jack Arnett says it’s too early to say just how many racers are coming, but it should be a very good number. Arnett said he’ll take a count while he’s helping to welcome the racers during a private gathering in La Porte this evening.

 

“They’ll be trickling in all day today,” he said.

 

The jetski racing will run from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. both days this weekend. Admission is free.
