Additional local artists will also have work on display and for sale.
Adventure Demos: Explore the latest in outdoor gear with product showcases from Gumotex Inflatables. Attendees can sign up for a free Demo. (at a later date)
High-Energy Fun: Scale the Rock Dimensions 40ft high, 4,000 square ft climbing wall (open to all skill levels), participate in a courtyard-wide treasure hunt, and enjoy live music throughout the evening.
Spring Courtyard Sale: Score deals on seasonal gear during Footsloggers’ exclusive outdoor sale.
To keep the celebration going, guests can enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks while they browse the vendor tables and art displays.
“We wanted to bridge the gap between our love for the outdoors and Boone’s vibrant art scene,” said Jae Furman, High Country Chapter Chair of Friends of the Blue Ridge. "Partnering with local organizations and artists allows us to celebrate Earth Day by bringing the community together for a day of creativity and play.”
