A nudist resort in East County plans on hosting the 1st Annual Southwest Nudist Network's Naked Games starting later this month.

"In the style of the ancient Olympiads, and the nude recreation weekend we used to hold in the forest of Northern Arizona, the Southwest Naturist Network and DeAnza Springs Resort are teaming up and gathering together the members of all nudists, naturists and clubs who can join us for an event we hope to make an annual celebration of nude recreation in the Southwest," says the Naked Games 2007 Web site.

People attending the event at the clothing-optional resort will face off in bodybuilding and body-painting contests, as well as "tattoo demonstrations, recreation, races and games for young minds of all ages!"

"It's one of the biggest weekends ... I would say 400 to 500 people," said Kimberly Wolfe, the office manager of DeAnza Springs's.
