The Recreation Northwest EXPO is ready to deliver fun for free to the public. With plenty of exhibitors to choose from, the EXPO is your opportunity to connect with leaders in the outdoor recreation community at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal in Fairhaven on Saturday, February 24 from 12:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
The exhibitors will represent Washington State’s recreation community in the general categories of Gear and Equipment; Outdoor Retailers; Guides, Outfitters and Coaches; Health and Wellness; Stewardship and Outdoor Activity; Races and Events; Public Land Managers; and Recreation Media. See the list of 2017 EXPO Exhibitors for a sample.
“As a non-profit organization, offering the public a free event meets our mission of bringing people together to enjoy, preserve and improve the places where we play,” iterates Todd Elsworth, co-Executive Director, Recreation Northwest. “Working with our partners, sponsors and exhibitors we are able to provide this as a free experience for the greater community. We have a full day of cool clinics, insightful demonstrations, Smokey Bear and great people to connect with at the Expo this year. Everybody will leave with a door prize, expanded outdoor knowledge and some new friends.”
Check the event website, RecreationNWExpo.com, in early February for the updated schedule of EXPO Demos and Clinics offered throughout the day. Demos and clinics will be hosted on the ground floor next to StrEAT Food and the Boundary Bay beer station. The demos/clinics will teach you a variety of skills and introduce you to the outdoors! In-booth demos will also run concurrently throughout the day’s events, so make sure to visit all the booths.
Special guest, Smokey Bear, will be on-site to say hi to the kids – big and small! Also for your entertainment, SMC (Seattle Manufacturing Co.) and AAI (American Alpine Institute) will be showing off rigging and rescue techniques inside the venue- that is certain to wow and amaze the crowds.
