Hot, hot, hot . . . that's what the forecast says for Saturday, May 30th! The White Salmon Riverfest & Symposium is happening TOMORROW and it's going to be awesome!
I just wanted to throw out some additional information . . .
First of all, a HUGE thanks for ALL of our sponsors! This year is going to be "over the top" in raffle items. Just to give you an idea: Streetwear from Level Six, drytops (yes, that's plural) from NRS, Kokatat drytop, AT paddle, changing robes made by Jana Krause, IR gear, gift certificates to local restuarants . . . and, a "boat of choice" donated by the Kayak Shed and Jackson Kayak! Plus, tons more stuff! You have a much better chance of winning some of these great items if you spend the entire day with us . . . hint, hint!
I also want to send out a thank you to some of our top supporters - Wet Planet Whitewater, who has supported this event since its' beginning in 2006 and Next Adventure in Portland! Can you guess how Next Adventure is helping???? Of course, the Party portion of the event. Next Adventure is all about fun and good times with fellow river lovers . . . so, come on out for the entire day and take advantage of great water levels, hot weather, education, races and PARTY!
See you tomorrow,
Heather Herbeck
