This year's Outdoor Retailer show was a lot of fun!

For one of our events, we got to host Canoe & Kayak Magazine's 35th anniversary party - we expected 100 guests, and about 200 showed up! Considering Pierpont Place is only about half a block away from the Salt Palace Convention Center, I suppose it was easier to get here than people initially thought. There was tasty food, plenty of beer, and a big cake. There was also 2 large gobo lights, colorful uplighting, and an exciting video presentation (gotta love those crazy kayakers!). We are excited to host anniversary #36 and beyond, Canoe and Kayak Magazine!
