SIKESTON - Corporate Games XVI will be heating up this weekend for "Super Saturday" where local companies will be battling it out at the Sikeston Sports for first place trophies, and most importantly, bragging rights for the year.

Employees have been volunteering in the games since its start in 2000, giving the opportunity for companies to socialize and enjoy some friendly competition after work hours. There is a luxury of games workers can enjoy from basketball, football, volleyball, trivia, golf, and more.

This year the Corporate Games started June 2 where 11 games were spread over the course of a few weeks culminating Saturday.

It's called "Super Saturday" because it's the most arduous meet with companies competing in a five-game event.
