Boise Rec Fest

I wanted to share about an exciting event coming this summer - the Boise Rec Fest!  The Boise Rec Fest is a festival about all things recreation and will hopefully help fill the void left by the River Festival.  Anybody who lives in and loves Boise knows how important recreation is to this community... skiing, mountain biking, walking on the greenbelt, river rafting, recreational sports such as soccer or tennis, frisbee, fishing, etc.  The list goes on and on.  Well the Boise Rec Fest should encompass all of these things with exhibitors, workshops, demonstrations, exhibition games, and more.

The Boise Rec Fest will be held in Ann Morrison Park on June 26-27.  There will be activities such as disc golf lessons, fly fishing demonstrations, a rock climbing wall, bicycle maintenance workshops, etc.  I am really looking forward to it.  Part of my passion for the event comes in the fact that I am involved on the Leadership Team as the Exhibit Director.  I oversee all the back end communication with the exhibitors, including creation of the exhibitor manual, processing payment and creating invoices for booth space, coordinating tent/table/chair needs, making sure that park and event rules are communicated to the exhibitors, oversight of the move-in/move-out process, etc.  I am enjoying myself and learning a lot and am happy to be part of this exciting event.

I'll probably talk more about the Rec Fest as the event gets closer, but I hope you'll all mark your calendars now and plan to attend!  Here is the official Rec Fest poster created by Ward Hooper:
