NORTH FORK FLOAT TRIP –

Sponsored by Western Slope SUP
A fundraiser for Western Slope Conservation Center
*Reservations Required*
Float a section of the North Fork of the Gunnison River and support WSCC! Tickets are $75. Seats are limited, so sign up today!
Due to current river conditions, this year the float will start at the Hotchkiss boat ramp and take out at Pleasure Park. Our certified boat captains are very experienced on the North Fork and have recommended this stretch to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all. Participants will be responsible for getting themselves to the Hotchkiss boat ramp (near the fairgrounds) no later than 9am and will be shuttled from Pleasure Park to Hotchkiss after the float. All participants must be 10 years of age or older and accompanied by a parent or guardian if under the age of 18.
You won’t want to miss the Silent Auction!
Artists, businesses and vendors from near and far have gone above and beyond, donating items that are sure to catch your fancy. All auction proceeds support the ongoing work of WSCC, CO Farm and Food Alliance, and The Learning Council. Bid sheets will be available from 4:00 until 8:45 PM.
Check back later to see a list of some of the fabulous items you can bid on!
