Harpers Ferry Outdoor Festival - Harpers Ferry, WV
by nfbk on Jan 09 2008, 19:22 GMT |
This is our 10th year, held in memory of Tim Gavin, who drowned Mar. 29, 1998 in a kayaking accident on the Upper Blackwater River.
Tim was a good friend and amazing kayaker who lost his life way too soon. We honor his memory by hosting this annual event to raise money for our 4 benefactors we have selected for their tireless efforts to protect and preserve West Virginias most precious natural resources.Many thanks go out to Friends of the Shenandoah, Cheat, Blackwater,and West Virginia Rivers Coalition for the amazing job they do. Tim would be proud to have his name linked with such great conservation efforts to protect the area's he considered his home away from home.
Our silent auction has gained huge recognition over the past few year's, we have had tremendous sponsorship participation. Last year we had 54 sponsors, ranging from throw bags to whitewater kayaks, and everything between. We are looking to expand again this year!!!!
Live music from 2p-10p, delicious food, vendors and kid friendly games such as the whitewater skee ball table, custom built by Jeff Cogle and Clayton Breeden was a huge hit with everyone! You have to see to believe!
We also have a raft race on the Shenandoah River for all of the local outfitters earlier in June, as they are in full swing guiding on June 14th and are not able to participate on a busy Sat. There has been feirce competition for "The Coveted Doah Cup".
This year we hope to put a little twist on the raft race, you need not have any experience rafting. You and your group of 3 friends will be paired up with a trained, professional guide from the Shenandoah River. After a brief "training session", off you go, vying for "The Amateur Doah Cup" It is a 50.00 donation per raft to enter, all proceeds go to river conservation.
Inquiries can be made to mike@harpersferryoutdoorfestival.org. Both events promise to be great fun, and you are making a difference in the preservation of Wild and Wonderful West Virginia, lets keep it that way, and remember, WE ALL LIVE DOWNSTREAM
